Abstract (English):	Nociplasticity represents a paradigmatic advancement in the understanding and management of pain, particularly chronic pain. This concept refers to the alteration of nociception that leads to an increased sensitivity to pain without clear evidence of specific tissue damage or known somatosensory nervous system dysfunction. It is distinguished from traditionally recognized nociceptive and neuropathic mechanisms, explaining chronic painful conditions that defy previous classifications. Its research focuses on the neuroplastic changes within the central nervous system (CNS) that result in an altered perception of pain, and the adoption of the term reflects an evolution in the understanding of pain, emphasizing the importance of neurobiological factors in the experience of chronic pain. As research progresses, findings must translate into improved clinical practices, offering hope to millions of people suffering from chronic pain without an identifiable physical cause. Nociplasticity not only represents a promising area of research but also serves as a reminder of the need for innovative and personalized therapeutic approaches in pain management. The purpose of this mini-review is to analyze, based on the literature, how the definition and inclusion of nociplastic pain into the pain classification were developed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
Abstract (Spanish):	La nociplasticidad representa un avance paradigmático en la comprensión y manejo del dolor, particularmente el crónico. Este concepto se refiere a la alteración de la nocicepción que provoca un aumento de la sensibilidad al dolor sin evidencia clara de daño tisular específico o disfunción del sistema nervioso somatosensorial conocida. Se distingue de los mecanismos nociceptivos y neuropáticos tradicionalmente reconocidos, ofreciendo una explicación para las condiciones dolorosas crónicas que desafían las clasificaciones anteriores. Su investigación se centra en los cambios neuroplásticos dentro del sistema nervioso central (SNC) que resultan en una percepción alterada del dolor, y la adopción del término, refleja una evolución en la comprensión del dolor, subrayando la importancia de los factores neurobiológicos en la experiencia del dolor crónico. A medida que la investigación avanza, es imperativo que los hallazgos se traduzcan en prácticas clínicas mejoradas, ofreciendo esperanza a las millones de personas que sufren de dolor crónico sin una causa física identificable. La nociplasticidad no sólo representa un área de investigación prometedora, sino que también sirve como un recordatorio de la necesidad de enfoques terapéuticos innovadores y personalizados en el manejo del dolor. El propósito de esta mini-revisión es analizar, con base en la literatura, cómo se llegó a la definición e inclusión del dolor nociplástico a la clasificación de dolor. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
