I’m happy that you found what helps you. I believe that they have helped me too, with the addition of meditation, relaxation techniques of a couple types, and very low impact exercise. To be clear though, neurologists and my confirming research indicate that “post stroke central pain”, and “central sensitization pain syndrome”even if they sound the same, and even though all pain experiences involve the brain, are not the same animal! They are not the same because their origins are not the same. Central post stroke pain can come from brain or spinal cord injury. Central sensitivity pain comes from a bodily pain somewhere that has been prolonged and amplified by the pain. Top down or bottom up is how I understand it. I leave what the symptoms of each are and what treatments work to others. I would guess though that they are pretty much the same. I take lyrica, Savella, and lamotrigine, and will try dropping the Savella soon. Respectively.
