Hello. I notice you are constructing the above article. Only certain types of publication are suitable for use as sources in Wikipedia articles. I have left a note on the article's talk page about this. I urge you to read the policies that I've linked to in that note, as many of the sources you cite seem to fall outside Wikipedia guidelines. --Anthonyhcole (talk) 13:03, 11 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Spicherc, I will be nominating the article Somatosensory Rehabilitation of Pain for deletion in a week, unless you can find sources to support its content that comply with this important Wikipedia guideline. Wikipedia content, especially medical content, especially medical content concerning the efficacy of treatments, is strictly governed by policies and guidelines. Presently, this article does not conform to the above-linked guideline. --Anthonyhcole (talk) 05:02, 16 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion proposal

[edit]
Notice

The article Somatosensory rehabilitation of pain has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Not a legitimate medical practice or a common alternative medical practice, no reliable sources describe the theory and contains advertising

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. PainProf (talk)

Notice

The article Aesthesiography has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Not commonly called this, appears to just be plugging other article and sources from article creator who has a conflict of interest. A new article entitled Quantitative Sensory Testing would be the correct name for what the author is trying to describe. None of these references aside from those of the author support the viewpoint

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Your e-mail

[edit]

Hi, this is in reply to your following e-mail:

"Madam, Sir, Administrator, This morning I woke up at 4.55 a.m. to writethis e-mail. I thank you very much indeed to have closed the discussions ofsome anonymous people on the page:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Somatosensory_rehabilitation_of_pain There were plenty of mistakes and insults tothe non-profit association, community of practice: Somatosensory Rehabilitationof Pain Network. Since 2012, we are starting in January with about 2 to 8thousands of dollars in the bank account and we are finishing the year, inDecember, with about 2 to 8 thousands of dollars in the bank account. Our community of practice is NOT doing any PROMOtion.We offer information to millions of neuropathic patients that it does exist anon-pharmacological treatment to decrease – or not – their pain. They are 6.9% of the citizens in the world, about 450 millions of people who are trying tosurvive with restless nights, fear and isolation at home. Yes, we are connectedto 140 countries through the official open-access free e-journal e-News SomatosensNeuropathic Pain. We are editing this peer-reviewed e-journal with some of thebest experts on this topic, but this is NOT an advertisement. We are not hidden in the shadow and penumbra.For this reason, we are writing with honesty and humility who we are. May I present myself ? I am an occupationaltherapist (OT) graduated in Lausanne – Switzerland in 1987. I am working inclinical practice. In 1996, I was the first european therapist to be able topublish in the American Journal of Hand Therapy about a technique to desensitizateneuroma after nerve injury. In 2001 I discovered that the first neurophysiologicalconsequence of a cutaneous nerve branch lesion is a distal partialtactile hypoaesthesia. I discovered as well the way to map it by Létiévant. TheHand Surgeon Prof AL Dellon (Johns Hopkins University) booked me an article tothe J Reconstr Microsurg about this French surgeon of the XIXthcentury. In 2003, I became Scientific Collaborator in the Unit ofneurophysiology of Prof EM Rouiller (University of Fribourg) to learn and theadaptative neuroplasticity mechanisms, to try to explain the data observed inclinical conditions. I always behave in this manner: to try to build bridgesbetween different experts from different fields to understand what the chronicpain patients are complaining about. For these reasons, Professors of neurophysiology,anatomy, occupational therapy, physiotherapy, sociology, etc. joined ourcommunity of practice. With them (54 co-authors) we started to publish booksand articles. In Europe, to publish a book in French costs a lot of money. Itneeds, months after months, to wake up at 5 a.m. before going to work as OTand to work very late until midnight. This is a job of a whole community whoare working for nothing. Only for the pleasure, which makes sense, to offer topatient a life with some colors instead of surviving in the darkness. In the rehabilitation field, to be “invited” totalk in a congress means to pay ourself the registration fees, the fly ticket,the hotel and to spend hours and hours to create a new diashow. We did it 149 times.http://www.neuropain.ch/sites/default/files/documents/149_communications_du_rrsd_1.23_02.12.2019_0.pdf Now Somatosensory Rehabilitation of Pain ismethod with experts (CSTP: a title with re-validation), with a register database of 3387 patients under the control of the swiss association of research ethiccommittee https://swissethics.ch/en/, with an evidence-based practicelevec 2c, with paper published in clinical practice, and even some in clinicalresearch, with a PhD thesis (McMaster university) with some Master thesis onwork in UNICENTRO (Brazil). This method is taught in several Medicine Faculty(University of Fribourg, University of Montreal, McGill University, UNICENTRO,etc.). Our community of practice has 1348 clinicians (OT, PT, MD, osteopath, surgeons,etc.). I swear, the hand on the Bible, that I have noconflict of interest. For these reasons, could you please, Madam, Sir, Administrator,delete this flag which is an insult to so many clinicians and their families ?
May I tell you that this is the moment (kairos) to brandish the sword of justice
Yours sincerely Claude J Spicher"

I cannot reply to all of this this message because it is overlong and hard to understand. But insofar as you complain about the discussion Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Somatosensory rehabilitation of pain (2nd nomination), it is still ongoing and will in time be closed by another administrator. Since it seems that you are the inventor of the method described in that article, you have a conflict of interest about it and should not edit this article.

Is blog.unifr.ch/e-NewsSomatosensoryRehabilitation/ a reliable source for medical articles in Wikipedia?

[edit]

There is a discussion at WP:RSN concerning this question. Is it, for example, abstracted or indexed by sites such as Biological Abstracts, Current Contents EMBASE/Excerpta Medica, Index Medicus/MEDLINE, PsycINFO, Science Citation Index, Scopus ... ?

Having a conflict of interest is a serious matter

[edit]

You and your colleagues on the neuropain.ch site have encouraged others who practice your method to sign up for Wikipedia accounts and edit articles that benefit your professional status while declaring "I have no conflict of interest." This is wrong.

You and your colleagues have a strong conflict of interest when it comes to the specific proprietary theory that you practice in your clinic and teach to others. It is in your interest for Wikipedia to give the impression that your method is well-tested and well-respected in medical circles. And for more than a decade, you succeeded in using Wikipedia to promote yourselves, very likely persuading at least some of our readers to turn away from medical treatments that have been strongly supported by research to give their money to you for treatments that have never, so far as anyone can tell, even been tested against a control group, or evaluated using double-blind methods, or written up in a serious medical review paper that compares useful methods for treating neuropathic pain and CRPS.

I was shocked by the evidence of collusion that @PainProf: introduced in the fr-wiki deletion discussion, but I think it is important that this evidence also be displayed here:

I recognize that you and your colleagues may not be aware that "conflict of interest" means something different from "editing in return for a payment of money." This message on your talk page is intended to enlighten you. HouseOfChange (talk) 22:53, 24 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
