Abstract
Background: Improvement in sensory detection thresholds was found to be associated with neuropathic pain relief produced by epidural motor cortex stimulation with surgically implanted electrodes. Objective: To determine the ability of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) of the motor cortex to produce similar sensory changes. Methods: In 46 patients with chronic neuropathic pain of various origins, first-perception thresholds for thermal (cold, warm) and mechanical (vibration, pressure) sensations were quantified in the painful zone and in the painless homologue contralateral territory, before and after rTMS of the motor cortex corresponding to the painful side. Ongoing pain level was also scored before and after rTMS. Three types of rTMS session, performed at 1 Hz or 10 Hz using an active coil, or at 10 Hz using a sham coil, were compared. The relationships between rTMS-induced changes in sensory thresholds and in pain scores were studied. Results: Subthreshold rTMS applied at 10 Hz significantly lowered pain scores and thermal sensory thresholds in the painful zone but did not lower mechanical sensory thresholds. Pain relief correlated with post-rTMS improvement of warm sensory thresholds in the painful zone. Conclusions: Thermal sensory relays are potentially dysfunctioning in chronic neuropathic pain secondary to sensitisation or deafferentation-induced disinhibition. By acting on these structures, motor cortex stimulation could relieve pain and concomitantly improve innocuous thermal sensory discrimination.

En tant que version électronique du classique esthésiomètre à filaments de Von Frey, la dernière évolution de l’instrument électronique Von Frey de Bioseb, conçu pour déterminer le seuil de sensibilité mécanique chez les rongeurs (rats et souris) par stimulation sous la patte, est un outil indispensable pour vos recherches sur l’hyperalgésie et l’allodynie. En mesurant et en enregistrant la force à laquelle l’animal présente un réflexe de retrait de la patte, il est possible d’étudier les pathologies liées à la réponse sensorielle ainsi qu’à l’hyper- ou l’hypoesthésie.
L'EVF5 intègre une caméra embarquée au niveau de la zone de stimulation et fonctionne avec un nouveau logiciel dédié révolutionnaire
