In our clinical settings, we treat pathologic pain patients with neuro-rehabilitation strategies such as mirror visual feedback and prism adaptation to optical deviation. On the basis of these treatment experiences, we have revealed that pathologic pain is derived from incongruent sensorimotor integration. Pathologic pain patients sometimes show motor disturbance of the affected limb, however, the underlying pathological mechanism(s) of the motor disturbance is still unclear. Aiming to solving this problem, we now use a humanoid robot (Nao®) and make the robot simulate the motor disturbance of the goal-directed movement. As a result, our findings suggest that pathologic pain patients impair motor representation of the affected limb in the brain. Further, the intimate relationship between pain and empathy are well-known. Using this empathy property to treat pathologic pain patients, we now use a humanoid robot who shows a human-lady appearance, in the examination room. The humanoid performs nodding to the attending physician or a patient. Our finding suggests that the bystander of the humanoid might be useful for treating pathologic pain. |
