Definition: Sensation of pain, following injury or disease, in response to a previously non-noxious stimulus is termed as 'allodynia'. Tactile allodynia is caused by recruitment of low-threshold (non-nociceptive) sensory fibers (A) in nociceptive pathways.
pain due to normally innocuous stimuli
(1)A perception of pain in response to an innocuous stimulus (such as mild distension). (2) Pain caused by the touching of clothes.
A condition in which ordinarily non-painful stimuli cause pain.
