    Abstract : Introduction and aim: Pain due to a light moving mechanical stimulus, dynamic mechanical allodynia, is a protruding symptom/sign in subgroups of patients with peripheral neuropathic pain and frequently as troublesome as spontaneous ongoing pain. The objective of this thesis was to survey psychophysical details of dynamic mechanical allodynia using a novel semi-quantitative method. READ MORE

Altered balance between inhibition and facilitation has been suggested to at least partly explain the maintenance of some persistent pain conditions. READ MORE
