The painDETECT project - far more than a screening tool on neuropathic pain.
CONCLUSION: To date more than 300,000 patients were assessed, providing the basis for one of the world's largest datasets for chronic pain. Among others the extensive pool of PD-Q data triggered the idea of subgrouping patients on the basis of their individual sensory profiles which might in the future lead to a stratified treatment approach and ultimately to personalised therapy. Started as a healthcare utilisation project in Germany, the PD-Q is nowadays used for clinical and research purposes around the world.
