SensitizationChanges in the PNS or CNS (adaptive or pathologic) that lead to heightenednociceptive responses and/or lower thresholds; i.e. a lower intensity stimuliresults in increased responsiveness. Clinically, sensitization may only be inferredindirectly from presenting phenomena such as hyperalgesia or allodynia, andmay include dysfunction of endogenous pain control systems. The process ofsensitization involves noxious stimuli that results in prolonged pain ormisinterpretation of non-noxious stimuli and explains how pain can exist in theabsence of acute trauma or observable irritation of neuronal structures as is seenwith some presentations of chronic pain.Sensory/afferent nerve fibersConduct sensory information impulses from the periphery to the CNS.
