[Management of chronic pain in the future].
The major development of experimental and clinical pain research over the last two decades should result in the development of new treatment strategies. In the future, the management of chronic pain should rely both on new molecules targetting specific pathophysiological mechanisms and new non pharmacological approaches, such as non invasive transcranial magnetic stimulation, acting on endogenous pain modulatory systems. The variety of new treatment options should allow a more efficacious management of chronic pain, taylored to each patient's profile.
