Touche pas trop vite à ma douleur

Using surgical methods such as medullary or cortical stimulation to achieve rapid pain relief of chronic invalidating pain can have many effects, including unexpected psychic consequences. According to the psychoanalytical approach, this corresponds to a transpsychic symptom transmission in the patient's close relations, leading to dramatic familial remodeling. These consequences appear to develop only in pathogenic familial constellations with a perverse operating mechanism. Patients with surgical implants require careful psychological support to study the psychic domain of chronic pain and its impact on the patient and family.
