疼痛评估和体格检查是神经性疼痛疾病诊断的第一个关键步骤，因为这些仍然是唯一的临床诊断。体格检查的方式应能引起所有的阳性感觉现象，如异常性疼痛、痛觉过敏、痛觉过敏、总和和后感觉。其他体格检查结果应证实神经性疼痛的诊断印象。具体的疼痛诊断应导致更具体的治疗。
Pain assessment and physical examination are the first crucial steps in diagnosis of neuropathic pain disorders because these are still solely diagnosed on clinical grounds. The physical examination should be conducted in such a way that all of the positive sensory phenomena, such as allodynia, hyperalgesia, hyperpathia, summation, and after-sensation are elicited. Other physical examination findings should corroborate the diagnostic impression of neuropathic pain. Specific pain diagnosis should then lead to more specific therapy.
