Introduction
For many years, it was believed that most instances of central discomfort syndrome was because of damages of the thalamus frequently caused by a stroke. The condition was often referred to as thalamic discomfort disorder or Dejerine-Roussy disorder after 2 French specialists that reported on the disorder in the very early 1900s. In fact, to some extent main pain ended up being synonymous with thalamic pain syndrome for years. Nonetheless, scientists currently understand that harm to other locations of the CNS can create main pain syndrome, consisting of situations following a stroke. Consequently, the preferred name for this team of disorders is main pain syndrome to acknowledge that harm to numerous locations of the CNS (and not mainly the thalamus) could trigger central pain and that a stroke is not always the primary cause. The preferred term for the specific subtype of main discomfort syndrome caused by CNS damage because of a stroke is main post-stroke pain.
