Preferred Label : Chronic primary epigastric pain syndrome;
ICD-11 definition : Chronic primary epigastric pain syndrome is chronic pain localized in the abdominal
region that is associated with significant emotional distress or functional disability.
The distinct anatomical location is compatible with typical referral pain patterns
from specific internal organs. According to the ROME IV criteria it is a category
of functional dyspepsia characterized by epigastric pain or burning that does not
occur exclusively after meals, but can occur even during fasting, or be even improved
after a meal. It may overlap with Postprandial Distress Syndrome (PDS), which is associated
with meal-induced dyspeptic symptoms [1]. The symptoms are not better explained by
a diagnosis of chronic secondary abdominal pain. Chronic primary epigastric pain syndrome
is multifactorial: biological, psychological and social factors contribute to the
pain syndrome. The diagnosis is appropriate independently of identified biological
or psychological contributors unless another diagnosis would better account for the
presenting symptoms.;
