MG30.20 Chronic post traumatic pain

International Classification of Diseases for Mortality and Morbidity Statistics, 11th Revision, v2025-01

Chronic post traumatic pain is pain developing or increasing in intensity after a tissue injury (involving any trauma including burns) and persisting beyond the healing process, i.e. at least 3 months after the tissue trauma. The pain is either localized to the area of injury, projected to the innervation territory of a nerve situated in this area, or referred to a dermatome (after surgery/injury to deep somatic or visceral tissues). Other causes of pain including infection, malignancy etc. need to be excluded as well as pain continuing from a pre-existing pain problem.
