Results. The mean LANSS score was 6.7 (standard deviation 5.6). Thirteen percent of the subjects had a score of 12 or more. Self-reported LANSS symptoms did not change over the 4 months follow-up, and the reliability of measurements as evaluated by intraclass correlation coefficient was 0.78. In a backward multiple regression analysis, the presence of fibromyalgia diagnosis and emo- tional distress remained the final predictors for neuropathic symptoms.
