Spectrum of cutaneous hyperalgesias/allodynias in neuropathic pain patients.
The aim of this study was to discern the pathophysio-logical bases for neuropathic hyperalgesias. ⋯ Spatiotemporal features of neuropathic hyperalgesia constitute key criteria for differential diagnosis between CRPS II and I and, together with other behavioral sensorimotor features, signal psychogenic pseudoneurological dysfunction vs structural neuropathology. 'Neuropathic' hyperalgesias may reflect neuropathological or psychopathological disorders.
