I need your help
Hi Everyone,
I hope everyone is in good health during these crazy corona times.
Due to this crisis our handtherapy center is closed. I think many of you are in the same situation.
In this period at my center we are reevaluating the treatment guidelines. Which is now an amazing opportunity for me to add the SSR treatment and Neuropathic pain to these guidelines. So every therapist across the handtherapy centers of my company can learn about it. (In total there are 26 facilities over the whole country) Offcourse this is going to be a very small version of it , because people need to do the course to be able to give this treatment.
I'm actually only making this guideline for myself so I could do the SSR without resistance from my colleagues, superiors and doctors that we work with.
Right now the sensory guideline only has the desensitization method en sensory relearning method in it.
So what I was wondering: Do you have any advice on how to give more weight to this subject and how to make it understandable for people who don't know about it?
Thanks in advance.
Kind regards and stay safe!

Hi Ellen,
For a guideline about SSR, the first document I'm thinking about is the Algorithm for clinical reasoning (available in e-News 13(1) page 12). I don't know if you have to do something very short or detailed.
But you may start with this algorithm and explain the symptoms associated on Process A and Process B, so your collegues would be able to detect neuropathic pain and then you may explain if they can continue to touch or not their patient.
The e-News and the website neuropain.ch are also a huge help to give some more weight to your work.
Don't hesitate to give some more informations, I found it very interesting !!
