Idk if this works for everyone but I find overriding pain stimuli with other sensations helps. So for example if my low back just won’t stop hurting and I’m in sensory overload so my nerves are overly sensitive (not exactly allodynia but produces a similar experience in my case) I find other stronger stimuli like heat, vibration, cold, pressure to “distract” my nerves to override pain. Might use a heating pad, weighted blanket, vibrating massage mat, etc. just anything else for my nervous system to focus on so it stops transmitting pain signals primarily!
