Hyperalgesia is an abnormal increase in sensitivity or an amplification of normally painful or uncomfortable stimulus. A person with hyperalgesia experiences an excessive amount of pain compared to the physical severity of damage or illness in their body.[1]

Generalized hyperalgesia is common in fibromyalgia (FMS) and chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) and some studies indicate it may be partly caused by a mechanism in which microglial accumulation and activation is involved,[2] as well as other possible immune system changes, such as complement system product C4a.[3]

Symptom recognition[edit | edit source]

Hypersensitivity to pain is a sensory symptom recognized in the Canadian Consensus Criteria for Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, and hyperalgesia is one of the examples of significant pain included in the International Consensus Criteria for Myalgic Encephalomyelitis.[4][5]

Notable studies[edit | edit source]

  • 2010, Evidence for generalized hyperalgesia in chronic fatigue syndrome: a case control study[6]
  • 2014, A chronic fatigue syndrome model demonstrates mechanical allodynia and muscular hyperalgesia via spinal microglial activation[2]
  • 2019, Exercise-induce hyperalgesia, complement system and elastase activation in Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome - a secondary analysis of experimental comparative studies[3]
