Hello!
I had a Mulligan concept course in Japan recently. They classified neural related pain in three categories.
One is neuropathic pain sensory hypersensitization such as CRPS. It cannot be treated by hands-on therapy but by mirror therapy.
Second is neuropathic pain denervation.
Third is peripheral nerve sensitization.
They said the first one is evaluated by LANSS-scale.
‘LANSS-scale’ have I never head or found in the Japanese PT journals or articles.
I also cannot find it in “Orthopedic physical assessment” by D.Magee.
In Japan CRPS is evaluated by pain disability index, pain disability assessment scale, or SF-36.
Is LANSS-scale accepted favorably by physios in the west countries?
Thanks in advance.
