4th Week for Somatosensory Rehabilitation

05–08.03.2012

When the patients that are placed in our care have been suffering too much for too long, when their facial expression remains frozen, how can the hope of a better tomorrow be rejuvenated: a future with less shooting pain, with less burning sensations - simply put - with a decrease of neuropathic pain.
Most patients suffering from chronic pain have cutaneous sense disorders. A decrease in the hypoaesthesia (for example the pressure perception threshold) will, at the same time, cause a decrease of their chronic neuropathic pain (for example the McGill Pain Questionnaire).

To rehabilitate the disorders of the cutaneous sense on the basis of the neuroplasticity of the somaesthetic system so as to lessen chronic neuropathic pain.
To avert the outbreak of painful complications by rehabilitating the cutaneous sense.
To build bridges between rehabilitation, medicine and the neurosciences.
