e-News for Somatosensory Rehabilitation 2012, Tome 9 (Volume 3-4) 5 th WEEK for SOMATOSENSORY REHABILITATION 2013 128 CONTINUOUS EDUCATION What can we offer our patients suffering from neuropathic pain? www.neuropain.ch/education/calendar The 5 th week for somatosensory rehabilitation is a four day comprehensive theoretical and hands-on course for therapists, physicians and others, about sensory re-education for neuropathic pain patients (NPP). Somatosensory Rehabilitation of Pain (Spicher, 2006) includes: Assessment of cutaneous sense disorders and their painful complications (CRPS, mechanical allodynia, neuralgia i.e post carpal tunnel syndrome) and rehabilitation. Problem Cutaneous sense disorders, including hypoaesthesia and/or mechanical allodynia are often significant contributors to chronic pain. The normalisation of the cutaneous sense has a positive impact on neuropathic pain. The shooting pain, the burning sensations decrease, offering NPP a better quality of life. Concepts 6, Hans-Geiler Street CH-1700 FRIBURG info@neuropain.ch The concept of Aβ pain was proposed by Marshall Devor [Exp Brain Res 2009] many years after Tinel (1917) suggested that neuropathic pain is conducted partly through the Aβ fibers. The etiology of neuropathic pain hinges on this idea. It means that chronic neuropathic pain can arise from the alteration of the somaesthetic system and not only from the alteration of the C fibers. Therefore, the painful area must be carefully assessed in order to determine the presence of Aβ fibers lesions (hypoaesthesia and/or mechanical allodynia). Consequently, the normalisation of the cutaneous sense has a positive impact on neuropathic pain.
