Research
Development of new psycho-physical assessment and therapeutics aspects of patients with neuropathic pain, chronic regional pain syndrom (crps) and chronic widespread pain with a bio-psycho-social lecture.
The听 patient's approach who suffers from chronic pain is part of a holistic bio-psycho-social vision. It's from a detailed observation of the patient and semiology that we can make some assumptions to better understanding the complex pathogenesis of chronic pain. There are no linear correlations between nociception and pain clinic. The integration of comorbidities (anxiety, depression) and linked symptoms is important in order to develop efficient therapeutic approaches. In different research with chronic pain patients, we were able to apprehend the assessment of the followings:
- Fitness and perceived exertion in chronic low back pain and fibromyalgia
- Evaluation of passive muscle stiffness in fibromyalgia patients
- Cognitive impairment and its association with pain, hypervigilance and anxiety disorders and depression in chronic pain, fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome
- Patterns of activity (the "hyperactivity") and its determinants in the state premorbid fibromyalgia
the link between emotions and chronic pain.
- neuropathic pain symptom inventory
- survey of pain attitude
- kinesiophobia
- orebromusculoskeletal screening questionnaires
- Determination of the conduction velocity of C nociceptors fibers in healthy subjects (with sensory quantitative evaluation and thermal CO2 laser evoked potentials)
- Tactile threshold determination by the adaptive method.
