Clinical features of Neuropathic Pain

Page 26: Neuropathic Pain Presented At Primed 5.11.09

History

• Pain description- – burning/ shooting/ stabbing/ electric shock/

lancinating/ severe/ constant…..

• Local hypersensitivity- – allodynia/ hyperalgesia/ dysaesthesia

• Dysfunction

Page 27: Neuropathic Pain Presented At Primed 5.11.09

Examination

Check for: Allodynia (mechanical, thermal &

punctate)

Skin changes (autonomic activity)

Sensory disturbances Cold

Pin

Vibration

Soft touch
