Project description:Nociceptive pain implies the activation of the nociceptors without damage to the somatosensory nervous system. Neuropathic pain implies an injury or a disease of the central or peripheral nervous system. Epigenomic may participate in chronic pain conditions as well as in the transition from acute to chronic pain. The purpose of the present study is to analyze how blood methylome differs in both mentionned types of chronic pain, by comparing them together and to controls. The study protocol was approved by the local ethic committee (CCVEM 034/12) and was conducted according to the recommendation of the Declaration of Helsinki. Patients were enrolled at the Clinique romande de réadaptation (CRR) in Sion, in Switzerland. Data were hosted and analyzed at the University of Geneva, Faculty of Medicine, Department of Genetic Medicine and Development, in Switzerland. Data were processed in the high performance computing cluster (HPC) nammed "Baobab" in the Geneva University.
