• Study Type: Intervention
• Study Design: Not specified

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
A reduction in Pain Intensity assessed by the Numerical Pain Scale is expected to be found, it will be considered a change in the endpoint when the result after the intervention is a reduction equal to or greater than two points on the scale.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
europathic Symptoms evaluated by the Douler Neuropathic Questionnaire (DN4) are expected to be reduced by reducing the score to less than 4 points; as will Pain Detect Questionnaire (PDQ) scores below 12; in these situations the pain complaint is no longer classified as Neuropathic Pain.;A reduction in Disability as assessed by the Roland Morris Disability Questionnaire is expected, detected through a 4/24 point reduction in the post intervention assessment.
