 +Opioid-induced hyperalgesia (aka Paradoxical hyperalgesia), an extreme reaction to pain, is a phenomenon associated with the long-term use of opioids such as morphine, oxycodone, and methadone.  
 +OIH is characterized as generalized pain that is not necessarily confined to the affected site.  
 +
 +Over time, individuals taking opioids can develop an increasing sensitivity to noxious stimuli, even evolving a painful response to previously non-noxious stimuli (allodynia).

 +Tolerance, another condition that can arise from prolonged exposure to opioids, can often be mistaken for opioid-induced hyperalgesia and vice versa, as the clinical presentation can appear similar.
