The objectives of this study were to delineate the clinical-epidemiological 799 profile of patients with neuropathic pain (NP) in the groups of SCD patients, from each 800 of the three questionnaires used DN-4, painDETECT - PDQ, LANSS and to compare 801 these three questionnaires in NP evaluation in SCD carriers. This cross-sectional study 802 evaluated 83 patients with symptomatic SCD, aged 14 years or older. Clinical and laboratory data were extracted from the patients’ charts and from information obtained from the patients during the interview before the application of the questionnaire. The calculations were performed using the statistical software Epi InfoTM 7. Pearson’s correlation coefficient was used to compare the neuropathic pain evaluation scales with the software BioEstat 5.3 Results: The use of two or more questionnaires may increase the suspicion of NP in patients with SCD and, with a confirmed diagnosis, adequate treatments will benefit patients.
