Cutaneous dysesthesia is characterized by discomfort or pain from touch to the skin by normal stimuli, including clothing.

Scalp dysesthesia is characterized by pain or burning sensations on or under the surface of the cranial skin.

These results indicate that the rats exhibited hyperalgesia, allodynia, and dysesthesia.

In half of the cases the attacks of dysesthesia or of sensory loss followed one another within less than one year.

Pain experienced by patients significantly decreased and some had improved dysaesthesia.

Some cases of Morgellons have been diagnosed as "cutaneous dysaesthesia".

Dysaesthesia is defined as pain due to thalamic lesioning.

Dysaesthesia aethiopica, the name given to what was seen at one point in time to be a mental illness that was the cause of laziness among slaves.

Dysesthesia (dysaesthesia) comes from the Greek word "dys", meaning "not-normal" and "aesthesis", which means "sensation" (abnormal sensation).

In psychiatry, dysaesthesia aethiopica was an alleged mental illness described by American physician Samuel A. Cartwright in 1851, which proposed a theory for the cause of laziness among slaves.

This is particularly true in her poems, "Hypoesthesia" and "Dysaesthesia," which she put into this anthology because "these narrative lyrics attempt to describe lack of sensation (numbness), or the feeling of pain without source, dyseasthesia: "wrong feeling".

Therefore, damage to the left hemisphere can cause both an indifference to pain and hypersensitivity to pain (dysaesthesia or allodynia), while damage to the right hemisphere can cause denial as a defense mechanism (anosognosia and somatoparaphrenia).

Cartwright noted that the existence of dysaesthesia aethiopica was "clearly established by the most direct and positive testimony," but other doctors had failed to notice it because their "attention [had] not been sufficiently directed to the maladies of the negro race."
