Recommended Reading – Pain Classification – July 2015
Sorry for the lack of posts, I am busy with some updates of university lectures. As you can imagine I am a bit OCD about presenting up to date information in my lectures.
Given the time constraints at the moment I thought I might post the occasional article I come across in my lecturing preparations that I feel are worthwhile reads. This is the first one:
Best of the all the article has been made free to access!
Some of the regular readers may recall that I do think that Neuropathic pain classification generally lacks a little bit of depth, hence I feel there is a better way to classify “nerve” pain or “radiculopathy”. See my post here for more information pertaining to this topic, and the following articles that further delve into this type of approach:
Low back related leg pain: an investigation of construct validity of a new classification system.
The clinical utility of pain classification in non-specific arm pain.
I will summarise these myself at some point!
Thanks for reading.
