nociplasticcentral
Nociplastic central refers to a proposed concept within pain science that attempts to unify various non-nociceptive pain conditions under a common neurobiological mechanism. The term suggests that central nervous system processing, rather than peripheral tissue damage, is the primary driver of pain experiences in conditions such as fibromyalgia, irritable bowel syndrome, and temporomandibular joint disorder.
The core idea is that in these nociplastic conditions, the nervous system becomes hypersensitive to normal
Research into nociplastic central mechanisms focuses on understanding how the brain and spinal cord modulate pain
