Holistic approach needed to tackle chronic primary pain
21 Feb 2021
The International Association for the Study of Pain has developed a new classification system for chronic pain. A fundamental distinction is made between chronic primary pain and chronic secondary pain.

Chronic primary pain is subdivided into five categories. Chronic secondary pain is pain secondary to an underlying disease.
