Abstract
The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence provides evidence-based advice that guides clinical practice. We highlight major criticisms related to the new guideline for chronic primary pain.
The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence should revise their recent guideline to take into account all the available evidence on the treatment of chronic primary pain.
