The pain may occur other than in the area stimulated. Various diseases can cause hypersensitivity to pain, such as trigeminal neuralgia and complex regional pain syndrome (reflex sympathetic dystrophy).Pain caused by a stimulus that does not normally evoke pain.The condition in which an ordinarily painless stimulus, once perceived, is experienced as being painful.Pain produced by stimuli that don’t normally cause pain, among them touch and cold. Allodynia can be a normal process, as when lightly touching an injury site produces pain. But it can also be a symptom of disease. Some patients feel pain when uninjured parts of their bodies are touched or when they are exposed to small changes in temperature.
