PIFP is a chronic pain condition recurring daily for over two hours daily for more than 3 months, in absence of neurological deficits. Pain may be localized, and may eventually spread, further affecting the quality of life of patients. The pathophysiology is not clearly identified and neither is the diagnostic criteria, which has further lead to lack of research on the topic. We hereby present a narrative review; discussing the symptomatology, differential diagnosis and the diagnostic criteria available for the condition, as also the holistic management.
