Does the Application of Cold Decreases the Pain Associated in the Pose of a Patch of Capsaicine at High Concentration on the Carrier Patients of Localized Neuropathic Pains ? - DIDOCAP

Nursing study, prospective, randomized, two-center open-label.

Patients will be randomized into two groups during their first laying Qutenza®:

* Patients receiving the laying of Qutenza® without refrigerated cushion * Patients receiving the laying of Qutenza® associated with a refrigerated cushion

The objective of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the application of cold to the reduction of pain (burning) after one hour of patch installation high concentration capsaicin (Qutenza®) in patients localized neuropathic pain.

Primary outcomes

  1. Visual Analogue Pain Scale (Burning Pain)

    Time frame: after 1 hour of installation of Qutenza patch

    Burning pain will be estimated by the patient using a non-graduated 10 cm line, presented horizontally to the patient with the extreme position of the vertical border on the left (0mm) representing the absence of perceived pain and the extreme position on the right (10 cm), the perception of the maximum pain that the patient can imagine. The information obtained is measured and translated into a score between 0 and 10.

    The patient will be asked: "How would you rate the intensity of pain caused by Qutenza patch application?
