The CanPain SCI Clinical Practice Guideline for Rehabilitation Management of Neuropathic Pain after Spinal Cord: recommendations for model systems of care

Study design: Clinical practice guidelines. Objectives: The project objectives were to develop the first Canadian recommendations on a model of care for the management of at- and below-level neuropathic pain in people with spinal cord injury (SCI).

Description
Summary:Study design: Clinical practice guidelines. Objectives: The project objectives were to develop the first Canadian recommendations on a model of care for the management of at- and below-level neuropathic pain in people with spinal cord injury (SCI). Setting: The guidelines are relevant for inpatient and outpatient SCI rehabilitation settings in Canada. Methods: On the basis of a review of the Accreditation Canada standards, the Steering Committee developed questions to guide the CanPainSCI Working Group when developing the recommendations. The Working Group agreed on recommendations through a consensus process. Results: The Working Group developed five recommendations for the organization of neuropathic pain rehabilitation care in people with SCI. Conclusions: The Working Group recommendations for a model of care for at- and below-level neuropathic pain after SCI should be used to inform clinical practice.
