Is or is there going to be soon any precise test to know for sure if One's have the disease "Chronic Neuropathic pain"?
Like an MRI scan to the brain of some sort, or something. People with Multiple Scloroses know for sure that they have that disease. And If they suspect they have MS and do the test, and it turn out to be negative they forget the disease they know it is psicossomatic... and we don't  ..Could this be the only way to be sure: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science...c9ed62cf24b4ed |

Functional MRI and PET scans are extremely expensive and are not likely to be used to find out if pain is 'real' or psychosomatic. Frankly it does not matter. Pain is pain.
Try gabapentin, see if it works. That is in general what they do here in the States. Diagnosis by whichever medication works. |
