Purpose: The purpose of this study was to further explore the association of pain intensity and sensitivity with suicidal ideation in adolescents with depressive disorder by comparing the differences in pain intensity and sensitivity between adolescent patients with depressive disorders and healthy controls. Patients and Methods: A consecutive enrollment method was used to select 158 adolescent patients with depressive disorders from three hospitals in Anhui Province as the MDD group, and 47 healthy adolescents were recruited as the Control group. The subjects’ suicidal ideation was assessed using the Positive and Negative Suicide Ideation scale (PANSI), and the intensity of somatic pain was assessed using the Numerical Rating Scale-11 (NRS-11). Subjects were assessed for forearm and tibial pain sensitivity using a hand-held pressure pain instrument, and experimental pain sensitivity measures included pressure pain threshold (PPT) and pressure pain tolerance (PTO). Differences in pain intensity and sensitivity between the MDD group and the Control group were compared, and the association of pain intensity and sensitivity with suicidal ideation was analyzed. Results: The incidence of physical pain in adolescent depressive disorder was higher at 88.6%, which was significantly higher than the Control group ( P < 0.001), and the pain intensity in the MDD group (3.77± 2.48) was significantly higher than the Control group (0.617± 0.99) (P < 0.001).The Pain tolerance was significant...
