title: [Pain in Guillain-Barré syndrome].
abstract: The clinical features of pain were analysed in 31 children with Guillain-Barré Syndrome. Pain may be considered characteristic of childhood GBS. Pain, various painful sensations and dysaesthesias must be emphasised in the early diagnosis of GBS. An attempt was made to identify the meanings of early pain (preceding or accompanying the onset of weakness), late pain, mild or severe sensory symptoms or signs and the role played by triggering or perpetuating factors. Only the application of a diagnosis-therapeutic protocol for childhood GBS, that pays particular attention to the problem, will suggest satisfactory answers to research.
