Nociceptor Sensitization

Nociceptor Sensitization is a physiological process in which nociceptors exhibit enhanced responsiveness to noxious stimuli due to lowered activation thresholds and increased signal transduction, distinguishing it from baseline nociception by amplifying pain signaling in the context of tissue injury or inflammation.
