Central Sensitivity Syndromes Unit

Central sensitisation is a pathological process of the nervous system involving a lowered pain threshold, causing hypersensitivity to harmful stimuli.

Correct diagnosis of this condition requires a thorough examination and an exhaustive patient interview, as there is currently no confirmatory lab test for most CSSs. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is also used to observe differences in the brains of people with and without central sensitisation.

Treatment of Central Sensitisation Syndrome should always be multidisciplinary. Our psychologist, physiotherapist, nutritionist, and functional rehabilitation specialist will be involved in the treatment. At Centro Médico Teknon, treatments are focused on four key pillars: nutrition, psychology and psychopharmacology, physical exercise (physiotherapy and osteopathy), and acupuncture.
