Chronic non-cancer pain is generally defined as pain lasting at least 6 months; or of a duration longer than the expected time to heal an injury or ongoing condition.
Patients with chronic non-cancer pain require a thorough assessment before deciding on treatment. A person with chronic pain may have physical, psychological, social and/or behavioural contributors to suffering that may require specific attention in a comprehensive treatment plan.
