Central sensitization is a driving mechanism in many chronic pain patients, and manifests as
hyperalgesia and allodynia beyond any apparent injury. Recent studies have demonstrated …

An inherent limitation of functional imaging studies is their correlational approach. More
information about critical contributions of specific brain regions can be gained by focal …

Background: Facial chronic neuropathic pain (FCNP) is a disabling clinical entity, its
