Example Sentences
- "Patients with rheumatic conditions often have mixed pain states, with varying degrees of nociceptive, neuropathic, and nociplastic mechanisms, which exist on a continuum. When individuals with any chronic pain have a nociplastic component to their symptoms, they are less likely to respond to treatments (eg, injections, surgery, biologics, and opioids) that work better for acute or purely nociceptive pain."
- "Pain can be classified as nociceptive, neuropathic, or nociplastic as per the International Association for the Study of Pain [6, 7]. Fibromyalgia falls within the nociplastic classification."
- "Peripheral sensitisation of nociceptive neurons can enhance or prolong the pain experience, even without sensitisation of central neurons (i.e. nociplastic or central sensitisation)."
