Central Pain Syndrome (CPS): an invisible struggle, but a very real pain. 🔥🧠

CPS is a chronic neurological condition caused by damage to the brain, brainstem, or spinal cord—often after a spinal cord injury, stroke, trauma, multiple sclerosis, or brain tumor. Patients experience constant or intermittent pain that can feel like burning, stabbing, tingling, or aching. Even light touch or temperature changes can trigger intense discomfort.

What makes CPS so challenging is that the pain originates in the central nervous system itself—so typical painkillers often don’t work. Treatment focuses on symptom relief:
🧠 Medications like anticonvulsants (e.g., gabapentin) or antidepressants
⚡ Neuromodulation techniques (like spinal cord or deep brain stimulation)
🌿 Holistic care—mindfulness, physical therapy, and supportive counseling

This condition may be invisible to the eye, but to those living with it, it’s life-altering. Awareness is the first step to empathy—and better care.
