Sensitivity to Pressure
Along with a light touch, gentle pressure can be painful for a person with allodynia. They may not be able to stand wearing clothing, such as socks or a coat. This can disrupt a person's daily life, as even getting dressed could be painful and draining.
Allodynia can sometimes be managed and even decreased, although there's no known cure. In some cases, addressing the underlying condition or damage can help or specific therapies that can help adjust the nervous system.3‘Using Somatosensory Rehabilitation to Treat Allodynia.’ RSDSA, 4 Jan. 2018, rsds.org/somatosensory-rehabilitation-allodynia/
