List of chronic pain syndromes

  • Source: Mostoufi et al. 2020: "Chronic pain is a pain status that persists beyond a reasonable expected healing period for the involved tissue. It is chronic if it persists for 6 months or more despite active treatment. It is called a syndrome because a constellation of symptoms develops in those patients facing chronic pain."

  • Hi @CursedWithTheAbilityToDoTheMath:. Article is new enough, long enough, well-written and cited. Earwig didn't detect any copyvio. No QPQ needed. The source for each hook checks out. I think ALT1 is the most interesting hook, but the phrasing is a bit awkward and probably hews too close to the source you've given. Might I suggest: ".... that chronic pain syndromes affect approximately 20% of people and account for 15-20% of doctor visits?". Overall, good work.

@Tenpop421: I agree alt1 is the most interesting. I really struggled with the wording with that one because MOS:MEDLANG kind of frowns upon using the term "doctor" hence why the sentence is a bit closer to the source than I would usually write. However, I did remove the prevalent condition part cause it's not really needed. Thank you for taking the time to review this! IntentionallyDense (talk) 17:11, 14 September 2024 (UTC)
