- Abstract
2013;346:f2690 4 Treede R-D, Rief W, Barke A. Chronic pain as a symptom or a disease: the IASP Classification of Chronic Pain for the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11). "Chronic primary pain", as a formal entity, is a new concept, defined by the World Health Organization and the International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP) for ICD-11.[4] It can refer to conditions in which pain is the primary disease; importantly, however, it can change to one of the six "chronic secondary pain" diagnoses available in ICD-11 (for example, chronic cancer pain and chronic neuropathic pain) as more information comes to light from investigations.
