Both ME/CFS and fibromyalgia (FMS) patients can experience allodynia in any one or all its forms.Although ME/CFS and FMS patients have reported allodynia, it has not been studied in either condition.

Archived here since the source is a science journalist on verywellhealth who had not cited any studies. It is extremely hard to find mentions of allodynia in relation to ME/CFS - could this be a symptom from fibro found in this with both conditions? No mention in ICC Primer. The only mention in the Canadian Consensus Criteria calls it "widespread pain" - seemingly confusing it with Hyperalgesia.

Several fibro studies refer to allodynia, unsure what "not studied in relation to" fibromyalgia would mean - would this mean no studies just on allodynia? Or no studies on pain which also ask directly about allodynia? - notjusttired (talk) 17:42, 16 April 2019 (EDT)

International Consensus Criteria (ICC) - A set of diagnostic criteria, based on the Canadian Consensus Criteria, that argued for the abandonment of the term "chronic fatigue syndrome" and encouraged the sole use of the term "myalgic encephalomyelitis".

See International Consensus Criteria.

Canadian Consensus Criteria (CCC) - A set of diagnostic criteria used to diagnose ME/CFS, developed by a group of practicing ME/CFS clinicians in 2003. The CCC is often considered to be the most complex criteria, but possibly the most accurate, with the lowest number of patients meeting the criteria. Led to the development of the International Consensus Criteria (ICC) in 2011.
