Sensitivity to Temperature

The sense of touch is used to gauge temperature as well as pressure, so allodynia can affect the way people experience warmth and cold. Comfortable warmth from holding a mug of tea or the refreshing sensation of a cool stream of water can feel unbearable for someone with allodynia.

This is called a thermal, rather than tactile, response. A person with allodynia may experience thermal pain, tactile pain or both.1‘Allodynia - StatPearls - NCBI Bookshelf.’ National Center for Biotechnology Information, 11 Sept. 2020, www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK537129/
