A practical handbook for the primary care team that summarises the evidence available and balances this with clinical experience in order to improve disease managment.

Neuropathic pain syndromes result from a primary lesion or dysfunction in the central or peripheral nervous systems. These syndromes have a broad range of aetiologies and significantly impact on patients’ physical, psychological and social functioning. Pain diaries and simple severity or visual analogue-based scales are useful practical tools to track symptoms and patients’ response to treatment.
