Aletheia Members & Friends

Please welcome our new sponsor, Maryland Clinical Diagnostics. Our new sponsor addresses the problem of accurately differentiating individuals with valid complaints of pain from ones who are malingering, faking or exaggerating, former faculty members at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine developed a verbal test – the MCD Pain Validity Test™ – which was originally validated on 796 chronic pain patients, with results published in seven peer-reviewed articles in medical journals.     

As documented in the most recent of these articles, the Pain Validity Test (PVT ™) can

• predict which chronic pain clients will have moderate or severe abnormalities on objective medical tests with 95% accuracy.

• predict which chronic pain complainants will have mild or no abnormalities on objective medical tests with 85% accuracy.

The PVT has been successfully used without challenge at the pre-deposition, deposition, and in trial in numerous cases in a variety of jurisdictions, in 8 states.
