Abstract
Pain and discomfort due to peripheral nerve lesion may be intermittent or continuous, waxing and waning or constant in its intensity. Terms commonly used to describe the quality of pain are sharp, burning, achi ng, boring of tearing. The pain may occur spontaneously or it may be p rovoked by different factors, which have to be analysed, Of much impor tance is the site of the pain, because this frequently is the clue for the recognition of the nerve (or nerve root) involved.
