Dysynchiria: watching the mirror image of the unaffected limb elicits pain on the affected side.

People with complex regional pain syndrome type 1 (CRPS1) watched a reflected image of their unaffected limb being touched and felt pain or paresthesia at the corresponding site on the affected limb. The authors suggest that allodynia and paresthesia can be mediated by the brain and that dysynchiria has implications for the understanding and management of CRPS1.

We conclude that central nociceptive sensitisation alone is not sufficient to cause dysynchiri...
