Here is a bit more for you,
treatment
Generally pain medications provide little or no relief for those affected by central pain syndrome. Patients should be sedated and the nervous system should be kept quiet and as free from stress as possible.
prognosis
Central pain syndrome is not a fatal disorder. But for the majority of patients, the syndrome causes intractable pain.
