Full title: What scientific evidence do the current classifications have in order to assess occupational disability in patients with central sensitisation syndrome?

Abstract in English, full paper in Spanish.

Central sensitisation syndrome includes disorders such as fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, multiple chemical sensitivity, and electromagnetic sensitivity syndrome. These disorders have been acquiring both medical and social relevance due to the increase in prevalence, the absence of a curative treatment, the limitations they cause, and the high healthcare costs they involve. Furthermore, all of them share an unknown aetiology and the absence of objective parameters to establish their diagnosis and severity.

Multiple methods and classifications have been proposed to graduate the disability of these patients, but currently none of them have obtained sufficient evidence.

central sensitisation syndrome

what evidence is there that this exists? It's not in the WHO ICD10.......... nor is MUS for that matter.

 

[rvallee]

An imaginary syndrome with syndromes as symptoms, including syndromes of one symptom that may contain other syndromes, some of which themselves contain the super-syndrome in some mobius strip of unscientific mediocrity. You can't make up your own imaginary concept just because you like it. Oh, wait, turns out you can, somehow, because nobody actually checks anything in this ridiculous field.

These disorders have been acquiring both medical and social relevance due to the increase in prevalence, the absence of a curative treatment, the limitations they cause, and the high healthcare costs they involve

Literally all your fault, you caused this, willfully and deliberately. Cease and desist forever, burn your medical licenses and never subject other people to your terrible judgment again. You are the problem here, this is all your damn fault, you created this disaster by following your stupid belief system and using it as a capstone on science.

Do these people ever hear themselves talk? Seriously? I would really like to never have to.

To my knowledge it´s an interpretation (of symptoms) or a theory. There is no (clear) empirical evidence, though there might be some hints, if one wants. Main thing being, that nerves are hyper-sensitized, if I recall rightly.

As far as I have understood, the approach does not involve any psychological mechanism, though - well, as anything - is open for it, and this is probably a considered route.
