Matsumoto T, Imamura F, Chiba Y, Katsumata Y, Kitani M, Takeshima T Analgesia during self-cutting: clinical implications and the association with suicidal ideation. [Journal Article] Psychiatry Clin Neurosci 2008 Jun; 62(3):355-8.
The present study examined the association of suicidal ideation in self-cutters with clinical features of self-cutting, using a sample of subjects from juvenile correctional institutions. Multivariate analysis revealed that male self-cutters and analgesia during self-cutting were significantly associated with a history of suicidal ideation. These results suggest that male analgesic self-cutters should be regarded as a high-risk subgroup for suicide.
