WHAT IT FOUND

What this paper is

This is a clinical commentary and educational guide explaining how spinal cord mechanisms contribute to central sensitization and diffuse pain symptoms. It reviews existing literature to suggest why pain location may not match nerve injury and how this might influence assessment, but it reports no original patient data, methods, or outcomes. There are no findings from this specific work to change practice.
