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.[4]
