Schedule and Other Important Information

There are several different pain classifications in practice based on expert opinion. These systems need to be comprehensive enough to consider the physical and mental wellbeing of the individual and comprehensive of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF). Signs and symptoms help to identify and classify individuals in pain to provide guidance regarding treatment expectations and interventions.
