Example Sentences
- "2019, Mark A. Jones, Darren A. Rivett, Clinical Reasoning in Musculoskeletal Practice, Elsevier, 2nd Edition, E-book Edition, page 40, Nociplastic pain is clearly dysfunctional as it serves no protective benefit to the people experiencing it. Nociplastic pain is significantly disproportionate to any plausible tissue contributions, persists beyond expected tissue healing times and may be recurrent in nature."
- "2022, Deeba Minhas, Daniel J. Clauw, 88: Fibromyalgia and related syndromes, Marc C. Hochberg, Josef S. Smolen, Michael E. Weinblatt, Michael H. Weisman, Ellen M Gravallese, Desiree van der Heijde (editors), Rheumatology, Elsevier, 8th Edition, page 740, Fibromyalgia (FM) is the prototypical nociplastic pain syndrome."
