Abstract
Background:
The LANSS questionnaire is used for the assessment of neuropathic pain and examination of functional outcomes of the physical therapy treatment following neuropathic pain. This questionnaire exhibited significant characteristics as an assessment for patients with neuropathic pain.
Objective:
To translate the Leads Assessment of Neuropathic Symptoms and Signs Pain Scale (LANSS) in Urdu and determine its Validity & reliability through characteristic properties.
Methodology:
In this descriptive cross-sectional study, a non-probability purposive sampling technique was used to assess 70 neuropathic patients for the LANSS questionnaire. The Participants were asked to fill out the Leads Assessment of Neuropathic Symptoms and Signs Pain Scale (LANSS) and Douleur Neuropathic 4 Questionnaire (DN4), VAS, Barthel index. The data was collected on the first clinical day and the second and third follow-up days.
Results:
The results revealed that the test-retest reliability for LANSS is sustainable. The overall outcome depicts that the reliability coefficient for LANSS (ICC=0.83, CI= 95%) is good.
Conclusion:
The Urdu-translated version of LANSS is valid and reliable for the assessment and evaluation of neurological symptoms in clinical examination.
