Another sensory condition that is often a differential diagnosis to allodynia is hyperalgesia. Hyperalgesia is the condition of having a heightened perception to pain. Patients do not necessarily perceive high pressure as pain, but stimulus that would normally be perceived as low pain is sensed at a higher pain level. Patients respond to pain stimulus in the same way that they would if they did not have the condition, but it is an exaggerated response (1). The cause of both allodynia and hyperalgesia is unknown. | |||
