What is central sensitization?
What is central sensitization?
- A state in which pain can be triggered by less intense inputs and maintained by less intense inputs or by a different kind of input (correct)
- A state in which pain can only be triggered by intense inputs
- A state in which pain can be triggered by any input
- A state in which pain cannot be triggered by any input
What are the possible mechanisms involved in central sensitization?
What are the possible mechanisms involved in central sensitization?
- Increased membrane excitability, synaptic facilitation, decreased activity of the inhibitory neurons, enlargement of receptive fields (correct)
- Increased membrane excitability, synaptic inhibition, decreased activity of the inhibitory neurons, enlargement of receptive fields
- Decreased membrane excitability, synaptic facilitation, increased activity of the inhibitory neurons, reduction of receptive fields
- Decreased membrane excitability, synaptic inhibition, increased activity of the inhibitory neurons, reduction of receptive fields
Is nociceptive input required to trigger central sensitization?
Is nociceptive input required to trigger central sensitization?
- Nociceptive input is not related to central sensitization
- Yes, nociceptive input is required to trigger central sensitization (correct)
- No, nociceptive input is not required to trigger central sensitization
- Central sensitization can only be triggered by nociceptive input
