VAS score, LANSS score (test/retest), and PD-Q score (test/retest) according to pain reference diagnosis.

	VAS	PD-Q score (test)	PD-Q score (retest)	value	LANSS score (test)	LANSS score (retest)	value
NeP group (N = 50)	6.8 ± 2.9	22.35 ± 4.8	21.5 ± 4.1	>0.05	18 ± 4.8	17.5 ± 4.6	>0.05
NoP group (N = 50)	6.3 ± 2.3	4.8 ± 3.7	5.2 ± 3.5	>0.05	4.4 ± 3.4	4.5 ± 3.7	>0.05
value	>0.05	<0.01	<0.01		<0.01	<0.01

Descriptive data for continuous variables are expressed as mean ± standard deviation (SD); discrete variables are expressed as numbers (N);values < 0.05 were considered statistically significant. NeP: Neuropathic pain; NoP: nociceptive pain; VAS: visual analogue scale; PD-Q: pain DETECT-Questionnaire; LANSS: Leeds assessment of neuropathic symptoms and Signs.
