The Working Group then developed clinical considerations for each recommendation. Recommendations for research are also included.Results:Twelve recommendations were developed for the management of neuropathic pain after SCI. The recommendations address both pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic treatment modalities.Conclusions:An expert Working Group developed recommendations for the treatment of neuropathic pain after SCI that should be used to inform practice.
