Methodology for self-report of rest pain (or spontaneous pain) vs evoked pain in chronic neuropathic conditions: a prospective observational pilot study

Abstract

These results provide support for the feasibility and validity of new patient-report methods to distinguish between rest pain and evoked pain in chronic neuropathic conditions. Future studies are needed to confirm the reliability and validity of these methods, which may facilitate important improvements in the research and development of new treatments for chronic pain.
