MG30.3Z

ICD-11 MMS 2026-01

Chronic secondary musculoskeletal pain, unspecified

Coding note

If the pain is related to visceral lesions, it should be considered whether a diagnosis of chronic visceral pain is appropriate; if it is related to neuropathic mechanisms, it should be coded under chronic neuropathic pain; and if the pain mechanisms are non-specific, chronic musculoskeletal pain should be coded under chronic primary pain.

Coding note from above levels

This code should be used if a pain condition persists or recurs for longer than 3 months.
