What is the ICD10 code for Allodynia? And the ICD9 code for Allodynia?
The ICD-9-CM codes have three to five numeric characters, with the exceptions of the V codes, E Codes and M Codes that begin with a single letter. The legacy ICD-9-CM system lacked the specificity needed to determine an exact diagnosis as the ICD-9 codes can be very broad and it became difficult to compare costs, treatments, and technologies ...
There are three types of allodynia: Dynamic (or mechanical), when pain results from an object moving across the skin. Static (or tactile), which results from gentle touch or pressure. Thermal, which results from mild changes in temperature.
The most common causes of allodynia include diabetes, shingles, fibromyalgia and migraine headaches. To relieve allodynia, your provider will treat the condition that’s causing pain. They may also recommend a pain management plan.
Call your healthcare provider if you have any signs of allodynia. This is especially important if the pain gets in the way of your daily activities or makes it hard for you to sleep. You should call your provider right away if allodynia comes on suddenly or is very painful.
Usually, your nerves send messages (or electrical signals) between your brain and your skin, muscles, and organs. Allodynia happens when the nervous system doesn’t work like it should. There’s a problem with how the nerves send and receive messages.
Drinking too much alcohol can cause nerve damage. Shingles: Allodynia can linger for months or years after a shingles rash has disappeared. Providers call this type of pain post herpetic neuralgia. Trauma: Some people get allodynia after an injury to the nerves (such as a deep cut).
Many people with allodynia say their skin is sensitive to touch. They usually describe the pain as sharp, stinging or burning. Some describe it as if they have a bad sun burn. To determine the cause of allodynia, your provider will ask about your health history.
Healthcare providers commonly prescribe pregabalin (Lyrica®) to treat fibromyalgia pain. Triptans (drugs to treat migraines) can relieve allodynia that happens with migraines. You take these medications orally (by mouth). Topical medications: These medications come in creams or lotions that you apply to the skin.
Hyperesthesia (or hyperaesthesia) is a condition that involves an abnormal increase in sensitivity to stimuli of the sense. "When a non-noxious stimulus causes the sensation of pain the area will be termed hyperaesthetic". Stimuli of the senses can include sound that one hears, foods that one tastes, textures that one feels, and so forth.
