Central pain syndrome

In medicine a central pain syndrome caused by the malfunctioning of the Central Nervous System (CNS) either due to trauma, tumors or epilepsy which causes a sensitization of the pain system. The extent of pain and the areas affected are related to the cause of the injury. Sometimes a part of the body, like, hands or feet might be affected, but if the damage is more, then the whole body might stand a chance. Unlike an injured motor nerve which carries less current, these pain nerves increase their signals resulting in injuring the neighbouring un-affected neurons. This is triggered by cold, movement, stress and emotions. This pressing pain is intolerable and may show numbness in the areas affected.

Treatment
