• Pain: Moving from Symptom Control toward Mechanism-Specific Pharmacologic Management (2004, background): “Multiple mechanisms that can produce pain have been identified; they include nociception, peripheral sensitization, phenotypic switches, central sensitization, ectopic excitability, structural reorganization, and decreased inhibition (1, 2, 14, 15).”
