N2 - Aims: Pain diagnoses in the 10th version of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10) did not adequately support the current management of pain. Therefore, we aimed to review the new 11th revision (ICD-11) in order to analyze its usefulness for the management, coding, research and education of chronic pain from a Latin American perspective. Methods: The Latin American Federation of Associations for the Study of Pain convened a meeting of pain experts in Lima, Peru. Pain specialists from 14 Latin American countries attended the consensus meeting. Results: In ICD-11, chronic pain is defined as pain that persists or recurs longer than 3 months and is subdivided into seven categories: chronic primary pain and six types of chronic secondary pain. Chronic primary pain is now considered a disease in itself, and not a mere symptom of an underlying disease. Conclusion: The novel definition and classification of chronic pain in ICD-11 is helpful for better medical care, research and health statistics. ICD-11 will improve chronic pain management in Latin American countries, for both the pain specialist and the primary care physician.
