Abstract:
Central poststroke pain (CPSP) is a neuropathic pain syndrome that can occur after stroke.This syndrome is characterized by pain and sensory abnormalities in the body parts that correspond to the stroke lesion.CPSP occurs ia 1％-12％ of stroke patients.A definite diagnosis of CPSP is difficult,mainly because of the variable clinical picture,the frequent concurrence of several pain types,and the lack of clear diagnostic criteria for CPSP.Management of the CPSP is challenging.This article reviews the diagnostic evaluation and treatment of CPSP.
