CPS results from damage to an area of the brain called the thalamus, which is involved with sensory perception
and movement. The pain is a mixture of sensations, including
heat and cold, burning, tingling, numbness, and sharp stabbing and underlying aching pain. It is intense in the area affected by the stroke, such as the face, extremities or trunk on one side, and is made worse by movement and temperature changes, especially cold temperatures."
