Nociplastic pain is pain experienced despite the absence of evidence of tissue or nervous system damage, and affects children and adolescents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dr. Pablo Ingelmo and Catherine Ferland have developed a new treatment protocol based on the type of pain and individual sensations of children, and to the significant reduction of drugs used and interventions performed to treat children. Their center was already the first to analyze the system responsible for perceiving pain-producing stimuli, using quantitative sensory testing. It was the results of this test on 414 patients that determined that 40% of children suffered from nociplastic pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Their new protocol will make it possible to detect children suffering from this type of pain and provide them with more appropriate care. Indeed, these children present more symptoms of panic disorder, social phobia and sleep disorders, and have poorer clinical outcomes at the end of treatment when not treated appropriately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
