You explain this really well! This literature can get so dense with phrases that make little sense to non-neuro people, which makes it hard to navigate the real message. You translate it beautifully!
thank you. I have CRPS, type 2 in both feet for 40 years (woke up with it from back surgery and had it spread to my other foot after a fall.) and I know the pain is in my brain. thanks for explaining it in more detail. I am wanting to experiment with using meditation and the concept of neuroplasticity to create new pathways/tracts from my feet to my brain to skip the "pain exacerbating" pathways that currently exist. Has anyone used guided relaxation or mediation to envision new pathways and have it help?
Are your legs numb all the time? Vertigo or dizziness can stem from the ears. Have you fallen on an ear? There are crystals in our ears that if damaged can cause vertigo.
Thanks Jarod! My question (and I hope I can explain it well enough to understand the question) is: with central sensitivity you can have an up-regulation of stimuli (nociception) to create an awareness in the brain which is sometimes good, and sometimes can be bad. But what about the idea that the up-regulation is so frequent/common that now the patient has adapted to that leading to their explanation of "I have a high pain tolerance". On the one hand, I would think that they have a "plateau" effect on pain requiring more and more up-regulation than "normal" to transition it into awareness, but on the other hand, I think of up-regulation and the summation of pain to be a cumulative effect where they would require less and less stimuli to elicit the same response. ??? (I hope this makes sense...) Thank you!!
This video is basically myofascial pain syndrome / neuromusculoskeletal. You have damage to muscle tissue. It never gets healed, most doctors have no idea of it. The damaged tissue keeps sending messages to the central nervous system. You get all these stupid diagnosis, tmj, some bursitis etc... Dry needling massage, stretching and muscle retraining.
No, there is not unhealed tissue. Central sensitization hinges on the nervous system interpreting safe signals (in the form of sensations) as unsafe, and therefore in need of healing. So the nervous system creates the sensation of pain we experience with central sensitization, when in fact the body has already healed.
The most comprehensive presentation addressing the topic a I've seen so far!
Congrats! 👏👏

Thanks Jarod. Excellent presentation and translation of the information.
Brian F glad you enjoyed!!!
Thanks, Jarod. That was a great presentation and good diagrams you used.
Amazing explanation, thank you

I have used guided meditations and Reiki meditations to calm my severe Central Sensitization. They are available on RUclips.
Thank you for this, Jarod. It was educational
Does this apply to numbness in the legs? What about dizziness/ vertigo?
The central nervous system is always modulating your sensory experience

So how do you medically treat maladaptive central sensitisation?
Ketamine infusions
