January 2025 Backlog Drive | New pages patrol
On 1 January 2025, a one-month backlog drive for new pages patrol will begin in hopes of addressing the growing backlog. Barnstars will be awarded based on the number of articles and redirects patrolled. Each article review will earn 1 point, while each redirect review will earn 0.2 points. Streak awards will be given out based on consistently hitting point thresholds for each week of the drive. Barnstars will also be granted for re-reviewing articles previously reviewed by other patrollers during the drive. Interested in taking part? Sign up here.

Question about edits on nociplastic pain

Hello. I am currently editing the article "nociplastic pain" as part of a class. I just wanted some further clarity on why the examples of nociplastic pain were removed from the definition section? I know you said that better evidence is needed, but many of the article's references discuss the nociplastic pain components of the conditions that were given as examples, among them IBS and chronic headaches. I'm also confused on the condition "ME/CFS" you referenced in your comment-- I can see the similarities to nociplastic pain but it differs in its manifestations and pathophysiology. Looking forward to hearing back from you. DepakoteDayDreamz (talk) 13:05, 26 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your message @DepakoteDayDreamz. For starters, I agree that ME/CFS is distinct from nociplastic pain, and more importantly authoritative sources on ME/CFS do not characterize it as a central sensitization syndrome (the ME/CFS article just underwent featured status review, so you can find high-quality sources there), which is why I noticed and removed that sentence’s claim that “chronic fatigue syndrome” (an outdated name for ME/CFS) is such a disorder. Just the fact that those sources use that term is an indication it may not be an up-to-date source on all the other disorders it references. My suggestion would be to check with the authoritative reviews on the disorders in question and only add them back if those sources do validate that’s how they’re understood (and if yes, to be more precise about how exactly—for example, chronic headaches can certainly have organic causes, so even if leading headache literature agrees it can be sensitization, would need to make clear it’s not exclusively). Does that make sense? Thanks for your work by the way, it’s really impressive how much you’ve improved the entry! Innisfree987 (talk) 17:27, 26 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
