Abstract
Hyperalgesia, or enhanced sensitivity to pain, is a symptom often associated with inflammation, nerve injury and various diseases. Although hyperalgesia appears to be mediated by sensitization of peripheral and central pain-signalling neurons, underlying mechanisms of sensitization are not well understood. Recent contributions to our knowledge of the mechanisms underlying hyperalgesia and sensitization are reviewed.
