Hi Rachel
I read your link and find it very interesting.
I have allodynia from small fiber peripheral neuropathy (SFPN). The posteding may contain helpful information for people who suffer from allodynia from some conditions, but I don't believe it would work for mine.
In the link's protocol, the initial goal is to isolate the nerve(s) causing the condition, which would not work in SFPN since, by definition, SFPN affects the very small nerves which are scattered diffusely in the feet, leg, and hands, involving many larger nerves.
This link provides potentially helpful information for people suffering from some causes of allodynia, but not all.

@jeffrapp Unfortunately, not all treatments work for everyone or their underlying causes. I felt this blog's focus on how somatosensory rehabilitation is used for treatment of desensitizing allodynia, caused from Complex Regional Pain Syndrome, gave a good description for a member who was inquiring about somatosensory rehabilitation whom does not have SFN.
