Pain symptoms were evaluated using a visual analog scale. Douleur Neuropathique 4, the Neuropathic Pain Symptoms Inventory questionnaire, and the body map were used to assess neuropathic symptoms.

The frequencies of light touch and pinprick were more pronounced in the NeuP group than in the non-NeuP group (light touch: <jats:italic>p\u2009<\/jats:italic>=\u20090.001; pinprick: <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.004).

Electrophysiological results showed that patients in the NeuP group exhibited greater sensory nerve conduction velocity impairment compared with the non-NeuP group (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.033).
