Can Central Sensitization Reversed

Given that degradative pathways exist, the process of central sensitization can be reversed. Activity by astroglial cells, however, may mitigate the effects of receptor degradation by upregulating and facilitating the process of central sensitization.

Is central Sensitisation reversible?

Central sensitization can be difficult to diagnose, but fortunately, it’s manageable and often reversible.

Is central sensitization progressive?

Several features appear particular to central sensitization: conversion of nociceptive-specific neurons to wide-dynamic neurons that now respond to both innocuous and noxious stimuli, progressive increases in the responses elicited by a standard series of repeated innocuous stimuli (temporal windup), an expansion of …
