Prevalence and impact on quality of life of peripheral neuropathy with or without neuropathic pain in type 1 and type 2 diabetic patients attending hospital outpatients clinics (2009)

Bouhassira, D, De Bacquer, D, Weiss, S, Matthys, K, Raemen, H, ...

AIMS: Diabetic polyneuropathy (DPN) without or with neuropathic pain (DPN-P) is one of the most frequent complications of diabetes. To better delineate their respective prevalences, we conducted a...

Effects of unilateral repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation of the motor cortex on chronic widespread pain in fibromyalgia (2007)

Passard, A., Attal, N., Benadhira, R., Brasseur, L., Saba, G., Sichere, P., ...

Non-invasive unilateral repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) of the motor cortex induces analgesic effects in focal chronic pain syndromes, probably by modifying central pain...

Studies of brain structures involved in diffuse noxious inhibitory controls in the rat: the rostral ventromedial medulla.

Bouhassira, D, Bing, Z, Le Bars, D

1. Previous electrophysiological, pharmacological and anatomical evidence had suggested a possible participation of rostral ventromedial medulla (RVM) in the supraspinal part of the loop underlying...

Heterotopic activation of A delta and C fibres triggers inhibition of trigeminal and spinal convergent neurones in the rat.

Bouhassira, D, Le Bars, D, Villanueva, L

1. Extracellular recordings were made from fourteen non-noxious only and nineteen convergent neurones in trigeminal nucleus caudalis of halothane-anaesthetized rats. All the neurones studied were...

Alteration of the spinal modulation of nociceptive processing in patients with irritable bowel syndrome

Coffin, B, Bouhassira, D, Sabaté, J-M, Barbe, L, Jian, R

Background: Visceral hypersensitivity has been evidenced in patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) but its mechanisms remain poorly elucidated. We investigated the spinal transmission of...

Effects of surgery on the sensory deficits of syringomyelia and predictors of outcome: a long term prospective study

Attal, N, Parker, F, Tadie, M, Aghakani, N, Bouhassira, D

Objective: To quantify the effects of surgery on the thermal deficits of syringomyelia and assess the predictors for such effects.
