Cross-Cultural study of adaptation and validation of Kannada version of self-administered leads assessment of Neuropathic symptoms and signs (S-LANSS) pain scale in chronic pain patients

Abstract

The neuropathic pain in the General population ranges from 1 to about 18 %. There are many scales to measure the same but one commonly used in the S-LANSS pain scale. This pain scale helps to identify the neuropathic pain. This score is useful to identify the neuropathic pain and the best part about this is that there is absolutely no need for a clinical examination. This study puts in an effort to translate the above said scale into Kannada and find its efficacy.
