S-LANSS Pain Score | Physio with LN

About this questionnaire

The S-LANSS asks about the way your pain feels and how the painful area responds to gentle touch. Please think about your pain and answer each question as accurately as you can.

For questions 6 and 7, you will be asked to compare the painful area with a non-painful area. Follow the instructions shown with each question. If you are unsure or uncomfortable, stop and discuss this with your physiotherapist.

Please note: This questionnaire is a screening tool. A score of 12 or more suggests pain of predominantly neuropathic origin; it does not provide a diagnosis. Your physiotherapist will interpret the result alongside your history and clinical assessment.
