French term

syndrome de centralisation de la douleur

Non-PRO French to English Medical Medical (general)
I'm translating a medical report that says the patient has "un syndrome de centralisation de la douleur". What would this be in English? After researching the phrase with Google, I've found one possibillity: Central pain syndrome. Could this be it?

Here's the phrase in context:

Docteur X conclue à un syndrome de centralisation de la douleur et d’un déconditionnement. Il recommande un programme actif avec kinésiologie et gym.
Proposed translations (English)

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

central pain syndrome

IMO
Note from asker:
Some more information: The patient was diagnosed with trouble douloureux (pain disorder) in 2013. Doctors have recommended a referral to a clinique de la douleur (pain management clinic). Most of her pain is in her neck, head, back, hip and feet. But judging by the rest of the report, she doesn't seem to be in exteme pain. She's fit for work, for instance.
Peer comment(s):
neutral James Peel : I'm not sure - central pain syndrome is a neurological condition caused by damage to or dysfunction of the central nervous system - it sounds extremely painful, and unlikely that a doctor would prescribe gym work; although I can't see what else it may be!

Central pain syndrome can be limited to a specific area of the body such as the hands or feet and the kinesiology is sometimes prescribed (even if the relief provided is rather limited). (I am a Medical Doctor).
