Presentation
Regarding impaired activities, the chronic migraine group presented with a greater frequency of cutaneous allodynia in seven out of the 12 items. [scielo.br]

Pain
CONCLUSION: Testing for allodynia is a validated bedside test for pain sensitization. A clinical trial of botulinum toxin is indicated for the management of chronic pelvic pain associated with allodynia and pain sensitization. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
When these nerves become sensitized, they start interpreting all kinds of sensation as pain. Again, this is real pain that has just as much of an impact on you as any other source of pain. [verywellhealth.com]
Thalamic sensitization transforms localized pain into widespread allodynia. [scielo.br]
RESUMEN ORIGINAL: Mechanical allodynia (other pain) is a painful sensation caused by innocuous stimuli like light touch. Unlike inflammatory hyperalgesia that has a protective role, allodynia has no obvious biological utility. [doloranimal.org]

Localized Pain
Thalamic sensitization transforms localized pain into widespread allodynia. [scielo.br]

Chills
Your hands and feet may burn if they get chilled, or getting too hot may make them ache. (However, if your hands and feet turn blue when they're cold, talk to your doctor. [verywellhealth.com]
-
Raynaud Syndrome
This may be a symptom of a different condition called Raynaud's Syndrome, which can lead to tissue damage.) It's often hard for people, even those who experience allodynia, to understand how these otherwise harmless things can cause so much pain. [verywellhealth.com]
Musculoskeletal
-
Muscle Tenderness
Emergence of abdominal and perineal allodynia (assessed by cotton swap stroking and/or questionnaire) is associated with the development of the clinical features of sensitization: continuous pelvic pain, muscle tenderness, and reduced pressure pain thresholds [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Stroke
Emergence of abdominal and perineal allodynia (assessed by cotton swap stroking and/or questionnaire) is associated with the development of the clinical features of sensitization: continuous pelvic pain, muscle tenderness, and reduced pressure pain thresholds [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Meningism
In the case of migraine, the trigeminal neurons in the pons (second-order neurons) become sensitized by the peripheral stimuli from trigeminal neurons of the meninges (first-order neurons), which occurs in each attack. [scielo.br]
Treatment
Most of the common drug treatments for these illnesses can help alleviate allodynia along with other types of pain. These include: A lot of us also get some relief with topical painkillers, such as lidocaine, BioFreeze, Tiger Balm, and Aspercreme. [verywellhealth.com]
Therefore, the identification of cutaneous allodynia would help clinicians to offer proper treatment. [scielo.br]

Prevention
Cutaneous allodynia interferes in the effectiveness of abortive therapy with triptans, reducing their effectiveness in total pain relief and in preventing relapse within 24 hours 11. [scielo.br]
