The clinical report of pain may be modified by variables in each domain. Patient 1 demonstrates how the presence of central sensitization might serve to augment the pain resulting from apparently low levels of joint involvement. Patient 2 demonstrates the capacity for the nervous system to modulate pain, diminishing the pain experience in cases of severe joint involvement.
