Beyond the crisis: Tracking chronic neuropathic pain in sickle cell disease using Douleur Neuropathique 4 and PainDETECT questionnaires
The combined use of Douleur Neuropathique 4 and PainDETECT, both of which are quick and simple to administer, proved to be a complementary strategy for identifying neuropathic pain, with each instrument capturing distinct features. Incorporating this approach into hematology care may facilitate the detection of pain profiles beyond vaso-occlusion and support more individualized treatment decisions.
