“…Central Sensitization has been most often identified with fibromyalgia, and associated chronic widespread pain and sensitivity, with no observable pathology or nociceptive etiology. However, CS has also been identified in subsets of patients with clear evidence of tissue trauma, pathology, and/or nociceptive components, including multiple sclerosis (Fernández‐de‐las‐Peñas et al., ), osteoarthritis (Akinci et al., ; Lluch, Torres, Nijs, & Van Oosterwijck, ), rheumatoid arthritis (Meeus et al., ), and post‐surgical breast cancer (Fernández‐Lao et al., ). Interestingly CS has also been tied to various other conditions in which pain is not a primary symptom, including post‐traumatic stress disorder, multiple chemical sensitivity, restless leg syndrome (Yunus, , ) over‐active bladder (Reynolds, Dmochowski, Wein, & Bruehl, ), and chronic hives (Torresani, Bellafiore, & De Panfilis, ), suggesting that CS may not only be associated with pain hypersensitivity but can also involve hypersensitivity to other stimuli, including lights, sounds, fragrances, skin irritants, bodily sensations, and stress‐evoking life events (Nijs, Goubert, & Ickmans, ; Yunus, , ).…”
