Methods to determine the validity of the complaint of pain, as well as clinical suggestions on methods to improve the accuracy of diagnosis and testing are summarized, as well as the description of an Internet based system which provides diagnoses with a 96% correlation with diagnoses of Johns Hopkins Hospital physicians.
