Chronic pain syndrome does not currently constitute a physical injury under New Zealand's Accident Compensation scheme. This article considers the correctness of this exclusion given the Supreme Court's adoption in Allenby v H of an expanded interpretation of the term "physical injury", in deeming pregnancy to be an injury. It concludes that policy factors, particularly the need to uphold the integrity of the legislation enacted by Parliament, demand that the exclusion of chronic pain syndrome is maintained.

Chronicity Of Pain

From the informational and structural point of view, the chronicity of pain is associated with the migration of nociogenic zones. The phenomenon of migration is based on the mechanisms of neuroplasticity, compensatory-restorative processes in the nervous system. On the basis of the phenomenon of migration of the nociogenic zone, a system of regional integrative therapy of chronic pain syndrome has been developed. Recommendations on the advisability of invasive shutdown of the nociogenic zone using invasive pharmacotherapy or surgical denervation have been proposed. In the course of studying the characteristics of chronic pain, depending on the duration of the disease, a direct proportional correlation was revealed between the increase in the components of pain and the duration of the pain syndrome, which can be explained by the increase in the number of nociogenic structures that form the complexity and stability of the pain syndrome. Thus, the necessity of neurodestructive interventions increases for attaining positive results. An important area of therapy is the inclusion of psychotherapy, pharmacotherapy and neuromodulation into the system of regional-integrative influence.
