Central sensitization represents a key pathophysiological mechanism underlying the development of neuropathic pain, often manifested clinically as mechanical allodynia and hyperalgesia. Adopting a mechanism-based treatment approach relies highly on the ability to assess the presence of central sensitization. The aim of the study was to investigate potential pain-autonomic readouts to operationalize experimentally induced central sensitization in the area of secondary hyperalgesia.
