Emotional distress: Specifying a neglected part of chronic pain

Abstract

We argue that in all RCTs that investigate treatments for chronic pain emotional distress should be reported. In a majority of cases, pain intensity and pain‐related disability are measured, yet ‐ despite guidelines to the contrary ‐ pain‐related distress is not included. We suggest that the new extension code for chronic pain as incorporated in the ICD‐11 will be well suited to fill this gap at minute additional effort for the participants.
