Atroshi-Lyrén 6-item symptoms scale

Time Frame: 1 week

The A-L scale consists of 6 items that inquire about severity and frequency of night and daytime numbness and tingling and pain. For each patient the item responses are scored from 1 (best) to5 (worst) and then averaged for the 6 items to yield a total score (only 1 missing item response is allowed)
