Abstract

|
|
|
Common neuropathic pain descriptors include burning, tingling, prickling, pins-and-needles and electric shocks. Allodynia and hyperalgesia are characteristic finding of neuropathic pain. The symptoms and signs in neuropathic pain can be assessed with Neuropathic Pain Symptom Inventory, PainDETECT or quantitative sensory testing. Substantial numbers of patients do not experience sufficient pain relief from current treatment of neuropathic pain. Specific pain symptoms or signs may reflect underlying pain mechanisms and grouping patients by these sensory profiles can improve response to pain therapy.
