Peak alpha frequency is related to the degree of widespread pain, but not pain intensity or duration, among people with urologic chronic pelvic pain syndrome
Preliminary findings suggest that PAF may represent a potential biomarker for central sensitization in chronic pain, highlighting the importance of considering pain distribution in chronic pain research. Future studies with larger samples should investigate the neural mechanisms underlying these observations and the clinical utility of PAF in diverse chronic pain populations.
