Windup pain

Windup pain

"Windup" is a term used to describe the process of increased central sensitization of the body's pain pathways in response to sustained input from nociceptive afferents. This leads to increased pain (hyperalgesia), increased pain response to otherwise non-painful stimuli (allodynia) and spontaneous pain.
