Nociplastic Pain

Epidemiology
The prevalence of chronic pain in New Zealand, when defined as lasting for 6 months or longer, was measured at 16.9% in 2011. Prevalence increased with age and economic deprivation. Pacific and Asian peoples had lower rates of chronic pain than European/other.[1] Around one fifth of people with chronic pain have predominantly neuropathic pain.[citation needed] Neuropathic pain is more disabling than other forms of pain and is associated with a lower quality of life.[citation needed]
Definitions
The IASP definition of pain was recently updated in 2020.[2]
“An unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with, or resembling that associated with, actual or potential tissue damage”
