L'étude des douleurs neuropathiques [...] Elles sont chroniques et très résistantes aux thérapeutiques habituelles. Les seuls traitements connus actuellement reposent sur l'utilisation des antidépresseurs et de certains antiépileptiques. Les recherches entreprises ont pour but de réévaluer les différentes thérapeutiques en utilisant des méthodes de mesure de la sensibilité (thermique par effet Peltier, mécanique par algométrie de pression et vibratoire par vibramètre).
