MG30.62

ICD-11 MMS 2026-01

Chronic neuropathic orofacial pain

Description

Chronic neuropathic orofacial pain is chronic pain in the orofacial region that is caused by a lesion or disease of the peripheral somatosensory nervous system. It occurs for two hours or more per day (or several shorter attacks per day occur) on at least 50% of the days during at least three months. The diagnosis of chronic neuropathic orofacial pain requires a history of peripheral nervous system injury or disease and a neuroanatomically plausible distribution of the pain. Negative and positive sensory symptoms or signs must be compatible with the innervation territory of the affected nervous structure.

Coding note from above levels

If the aetiology is vague, consider using codes in the section of chronic primary pain.

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