Cutaneous hyperalgesia

  • Chapter
Pain and Neurogenic Inflammation

Part of the book series: Progress in Inflammation Research ((PIR))

Abstract

Cutaneous hyperalgesia is a consequence of plasticity changes in the nociceptive neuronal system under pathophysiological conditions. The main reasons for hyperalgesias are inflammation and neuropathic conditions. In this review we will mainly deal with inflammation-induced hyperalgesias which are much better understood than neuropathic dysaesthesias [1–4].
