Aesthesiography

Aesthesiography comes from the Greek word “aesthesis” (αίσθησις) meaning "sensibility," and “graphy” in order to visualize hyposensibility of the skin. This term has been proposed by the French surgeon Létiévant.

The use to map the cutaneous nerve lesions was well-known. Totally forgotten during seven decades, this use luckily came back in the daily practice of medical doctors and therapists. The aesthesiology of the whole body is a science used to assess neuropathic pain patients (NPP).
