Diagnostic criteria for CPSP.

Klit et al. (28)	Hansen et al. (30)
1) Pain in an area of the body with somatotopic correspondence to the CNS lesion. 2) Suggestive history of stroke and the appearance of pain can happen early or with some delay over time. 3) Confirmation of CNS lesion by image or positive or negative sensory signs, with somatotopic correspondence to the area of the lesion. 4) Exclusion of other causes that may explain the painful symptoms. The supportive criteria include pain with no direct relation to movement, inflammation, or tissue damage; descriptors of neuropathic pain like burning, electrical shock, painful cold, aching, pressure, sting, pinprick, and needle; and complaint of allodynia or dysesthesia to the touch or cold.	1) Development of pain with onset of or after the stroke. 2) Pain located on the stroke-affected side of the body. 3) No other plausible cause of the pain, including pain isolated to the shoulder joint and nearby region.
