Abstract

Across the world, chronic pain remains the leading cause of disability linked with negative outcomes in, amongst others, mood, sleep and quality of life, and a significant cost to society. The situation is complicated by the inconsistent global approach in classifying presentations of chronic pain that would allow more accurate data to be collected. Thus, there is a requirement for international agreement on the use of standardized diagnoses and tools.
