[...] on a expliqué pourquoi les médicaments antidouleur classiques sont souvent inefficaces face à la douleur neuropathique. En effet, ils ne ciblent que les neurones, alors que la douleur peut être due à un dysfonctionnement des cellules non neuronales, dites gliales, localisées dans le cerveau et la moelle épinière.
