Lack of Objective Findings Discussion

Lack of Objective Findings: Diagnoses made in the absence of visible, palpable or objectively measurable physical abnormalities are more questionable than those with objective, clinically relevant findings. Such diagnoses include those based primarily on subjective findings such as pain, sensory problems, discomfort, tenderness or weakness. Lack of objective findings increases the chance of treatment failure.
