Clinical Trial Description

Patients substituted since at least 3 months shall be included during a regular control visit.

Each session shall consist in

- check for toxics in urine sample;

- measurement of pupil diameter;

- measurement of mechanical punctuate pain threshold;

- measurement of mechanical bone pain threshold.

A first session shall be done at time of residual effect of the opiate. A second session shall be done at time of peak effect of the opiate. ;
