Study description

Topical application of analgesics can offer a valid therapeutic alternative, providing Localised Neuropathic Pain (LNP) is recognised. To date only sparse data are available in literature about the features of LNP, its therapeutic management and its frequency in the primary care population in Europe. This study will attempt to fill such a knowledge gap in the primary care population of five EU countries, namely France, Ireland, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom. Data on the frequency of LNP and the clinical profile of patients showing signs and symptoms of LNP, their current treatment patterns, and patient’s reported health status, including quality of sleep, can help to identify unmet medical needs in such a problematic therapeutic area.
