AAPT
multidimensional framework classified three central pain conditions. Further
studies will estimate the authenticity of the recommended guidelines.
Central neuropathic pain is
a deliberating reaction of stroke, spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis, and
some other central nervous system disorders. These disorders or lesion is known
to results in chronic pain with neuropathic characteristics. Overall, 7–8% of
adults are reported to suffer from neuropathic pain worldwide. This pain is
very severe impacts overall health negatively therefore demanding the effective
and early diagnosis. Various societies collaborated to propose a working group
to establish central diagnostic criteria for neuropathic pain. This developed a
criterion expanded upon current criteria for neuropathic pain and the
International Classification of Diseases 11th Revision draft
criteria to confirm consistency.
The present study published
in 2017, in The Journal of Pain
explained central neuropathic pain related to stroke, spinal cord injury and
multiple sclerosis. However, one of the research society AAPT frameworks
continued to work on central pain due to other reasons like traumatic brain
injury. Therefore, primary neuropathic pain classification is formulated by
AAPT multidimensional framework that mainly included 1) core diagnostic
criteria, 2) common features, 3) common medical and psychiatric comorbidities,
4) neurobiological, psychosocial, and functional consequences, and 5) putative
neurobiological and psychological mechanisms, risk factors, and protective
factors.
