Objective Central sensitization is present in different pain conditions, including chronic
whiplash-associated disorders. In the absence of a gold standard method of assessment to …

Background and objectives It has been suggested that sensitization of the central nervous
system plays an important role in the development and maintenance of chronic (pain) …

Objectives Sensory hypersensitivity, central hyperexcitability [lowered nociceptive flexion
reflex (NFR) thresholds], and psychologic distress are features of chronic whiplash …

Hypersensitivity to a variety of sensory stimuli is a feature of persistent whiplash associated
disorders (WAD). However, little is known about sensory disturbances from the time of injury …

Objectives: To investigate sensory changes present in patients with chronic whiplash-
associated disorders and chronic idiopathic neck pain using a variety of quantitative sensory …

The mechanisms underlying sensory hypersensitivity (SH) in acute whiplash associated
disorders (WAD) are not well understood. We examined the extent of the relationships …

Objectives: To provide insights into the mechanisms underlying central hypersensitivity,
review the evidence on central hypersensitivity in chronic pain after whiplash injury …

Widespread sensory hypersensitivity is present in acute whiplash and is associated with
poor recovery. Decreased nociceptive flexion reflex (NFR) thresholds (spinal cord …

Objectives Increased sensitivity to pressure is commonly associated with painful
musculoskeletal conditions, including whiplash-associated disorders (WADs). Pressure pain …

Both sensory hypersensitivity and hypoaesthesia are features of chronic whiplash
associated disorders (WAD). Sensory hypersensitivity is not a consistent feature of chronic …
