Cliniques universitaires Saint-Luc




At the Cliniques universitaires Saint Luc, the Department of Anaesthesiology is involved in several clinical research projects focusing on the problematic of chronic post-operative pain. The multidisciplinary Chronic Pain Consultation led by Prof. Anne Berquin is involved in clinical research projects aiming at improving the multidisciplinary management of patients with chronic pain, including the development of new psychophysical techniques to assess patients with neuropathic pain, new bio-psycho-social approaches for the care of patients with chronic regional pain syndrome and chronic widespread pain. The Reference Center for Epilepsy (Dr. Susana Ferrao-Santos, Dr. Riem El Tahry) collaborate with us in projects involving intracerebral EEG.
