Unfortunately, this generator of vibrations is not available in the Netherlands. Therefore, the therapy can only be done by performing the home program of relearning the interpretation of tactile stimuli to the skin, using the neuroplasticity of the brain. When I started to use the somatosensory rehabilitation method in neuropathic pain patients in 2012, I was curious my results could be as positive as I had seen in Fribourg during my first course.
