Conflicts between IASP´s new criteria for primary chronic pain and ACR´s fibromyalgia classification criteria

Summary/Abstract: In 2015, the new classification of chronic pain for ICD-11,1 developed by the International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP), were published1 and they have begun a kind of revolution in the field of medicine for those of us dedicated to treat patients suffering from chronic pain, which has been accentuated by the introduction of the concept of chronic pain as a disease and not merely as a symptom.2 Although virtually no author has declared themselves a fan of the taxonomic aspect that such a subjective and scarcely measurable pathology has acquired, we did acknowledge the need to adopt a stance regarding painful pathologies that exhibit or may develop central sensitization, now framed within the so-called “primary pain” or “nociplastic pain”.
