ABSTRACT
This means that the pain perception caused by a stimulus will be disproportionate to the stimulus itself.
= Allodynia is the sensation of pain, in the absence of a painful stimulus. = Pain is also augmented by many other sensations:
= emotion, especially anxiety; = suggestion (e.g. being told something will be very painful makes it feel
more painful); = activation of other sensory modalities (e.g. the sight of blood).
