Clinicians' implicit and explicit attitudes about the legitimacy of functional neurological disorders correlate with referral decisions https://goo.gl/scholar/GrGjoP #ScholarAlerts
The official IASP definition of allodynia at the time of this article is "pain due to a stimulus that does not normally provoke pain." An example would be a light feather touch (that should only produce sensation) causing pain. Allodynia is different from hyperalgesia, which is an exaggerated response from a normally painful stimulus, although both can and often do co-exist. Both are types of neuropathic pain.
For those newly diagnosed with #FND or unaware of this resource, Neurosymptoms put together by Professor Jon Stone (Not sure if he's on Mastodon) from Edinburgh who has been working on FND for over 20 year. The website provides information on symptoms, causes, treatments, etc. I highly recommend it.
