Brief Summary

There is a need for a culturally adapted screening tool to aid health care professionals or clinicians screen for the presence of neuropathic pain associated with spinal cord injuries in Pashtoon population. . Since Paraplegic center Hayatabad Peshawar is a reputable institute for spinal cord injury patients' rehabilitation in Khyber pakhtun khwa where most of Pashto speaking SCI patients are rehabilitated. While working there as a physical therapist I, my other colleagues and patients felt a need for a screening tool for pain in Pashto language .So I decided to a conduct a tool validation study. This study will help the clinicians to assess their patient's pain type easily through the Pashto version of LANSS pain scale in Pashtoon population and hence will help in timely management of the pain.

  1 week

• Douleur Neuropathique 4 Questions (DN4) questionnaire

  The DN4 questionnaire consists of a total of 10 items grouped in 4 sections . The first seven items are related to the quality of pain (burning, painful cold, electric shocks) and its association to abnormal sensations (tingling, pins and needles, numbness, itching). The other 3 items are related to neurological examination in the painful area (touch hypoesthesia, pinprick hypoesthesia, tactile allodynia). A score of 1 is given to each positive item and a score of 0 to each negative item. The total score is calculated as the sum of all 10 items, and the cut-off value for the diagnosis of neuropathic pain is a total score of 4/10.
