Abstract Objective: this study evaluates the effects of an occupational therapy program on pain perception and functional performance of a patient with post-stroke neuropathic pain. Methods: this is a case study carried out between 2018 and 2019, in a Specialized Rehabilitation Center with pre and post intervention assessments using three validated instruments. Results: 16 interventions were carried out, achieving a decrease in the Visual Analog Scale score (Pre=7/Post=3), in the McGill Pain Questionnaire Score (Pre=59/Post=37) and, in the Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (Pain Pre=94/Post=48 and Disability - Pre=92.25/Post=48.45). Conclusion: it was found that the occupational therapy intervention program promoted a decrease in pain perception, reduced disability and improved functional performance.
