- Recommendation ID
- CG173/4
- Question
- Factors affecting participation and quality of life:- What are the key factors, including additional care and support, that influence participation and quality of life in people with neuropathic pain?
- Any explanatory notes
(if applicable) - Why this is important:- There is evidence suggesting that people with neuropathic pain experience poorer physical and mental health than people with other forms of pain, even when adjusted for pain intensity. The discrepancy between pain intensity and quality of life implies that other, unrecognisable factors are important for people with neuropathic pain and that these factors may influence their daily activities and participation. Further research should be conducted as described within the guidance.
