Default It sounds so great and makes good sense but

Sadly I don't expect much support since as stated in the article, "There is also the likelihood that more refined testing will shrink the patient population that drug companies can target with new analgesic drugs. Instead of getting an approval for all of post-herpetic neuralgia, for example, they'd get one just for post-herpetic neuralgia with allodynia."

Regardless, it is very interesting and good to know.

Thanks kiwi

An interesting article - the first I've read about studies that look at neuropathy from an entirely different angle - I may just have to print it out and drop a copy into the neurology dept. at the hospital - sadly given the restrictive funding for neuropathy testing in our public health system it's unlikely it will result in any changes - particularly where improved testing might involve additional staff, time, equipment and other resources. Hopefully some enthusiastic young neuro might follow up on the international research and in maybe 5 - 10 years something might seep into the system here.
