Back Home Next WHAT IS REFLEX SYMPATHETIC DYSTROPHY? In 1993, the name of reflex sympathetic dystrophy was changed to COMPLEX REGIONAL PAIN SYNDROME (CRPS) mainly for research purposes and to avoid confusion with the many labels that have been attached to RSD in the past. CRPS type one is formerly known as RSD and CRPS type two was causalgia. CRPS type one (formerly RSD) is a debilitating disease which involves the skin, nerves, blood vessels and bone. The sympathetic nervous system reacts to a stimulus for example, an injury. Blood flow may be affected in reaction to a burn, cut, or severe temperature changes. To prevent you from further using an injured limb, the limb swells. Sometimes, and no one knows why, an abnormal or prolonged sympathetic reflex begins in a limb as reaction to a trauma. The sympathetic nerves become overactive and can cause a variety of symptoms that may cause debilitating consequences. There can be many symptoms, but the most common one is burning pain. Some of the other symptoms include: swelling temperature changes colour changes diminished motor function severe sweating These symptoms usually happen in a limb but can occur in other body parts eg. face.. Symptoms may vary with each individual who has CRPS type one (RSD).

Members Resources About Divisions ... Grad Programs Division of Comparative Neurobiology William D. Willis, Jr., M.D., Ph.D., Chief The Division of Comparative Neurobiology is dedicated to the comparative study of the nervous systems of vertebrates and invertebrates. The goal is a greater understanding of the role of the nervous system in regulating behavior. Of particular interest for investigators who are a part of a health science center is the acquisition of new knowledge that can shed light on the mechanisms of and remedies for human diseases. For this reason, members of this Division investigate not only marine organisms but also terrestrial animals that can serve as models for studies of disease or as a means for providing a greater understanding of basic biological processes as a background for an understanding of human disease. The areas of research interests of the members of the Division of Comparative Neurobiology include the following: pain mechanisms; spinal cord injury; growth factors; control of locomotion; molecular biology of peptide hormones; the role of marine pheromones in reproductive behavior; vestibular function; and control of eye movements.

Answers to a complex, painful condition Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy Background: In 1864, a condition of hot, burning pain, known as "causalgia", was first described by soldiers of the Civil War who had suffered gunshot wounds. (1) ‘Mitchell described a hyperesthetic state in the affected limb and coined the term causalgia from the Greek, Kausos ( heat ) and Algos ( pain ). Since that time, there have been other terms that have been named this disease that made the diagnosis of RSD quite difficult, such as Sudeck's Atrophy, Shoulder-Hand Syndrome, acute atrophy of bone, traumatic vasospasm, or Sympathetically Maintained Pain & Complex Regional Pain Syndrome, which RSD is Type 1. I Complex expresses varied clinical features found in these conditions Regional emphasizes that in the majority of cases it involves a region of the body, usually an extremity, but may occur on another part of the body or spread to different areas of the body Pain is considered essential to the diagnosis of CRPS types I and II and includes pain that is spontaneous or evoked such as allodynia or hyperalgesia. In rare cases otherwise resembling CRPS, pain may be minimal or absent. Although motor symptoms or signs are not directly included in the classification, tremor, dystonia, and weakness are found in many patients with CRPS. It is also recognized that some patients may not have all of the criteria that will clearly classify them as having CRPS type I or II." "The names reflex sympathetic dystrophy and causalgia are retained in parentheses in the new classification to facilitate communication and understanding.’ (4)

Causalgia Definition • The term "causalgia" was introduced by Weir Mitchell during Civil War (1861-1865) to describe the syndrome seen following a minority of injuries to peripheral nerves following gunshot or penetrating wounds to the large nerves. Syndrome appears to develop after partial nerve injury. Clinical Features Pain Characteristics Vascular Changes Vasoconstrictor (cool, pink). Vasodilator (blue, mottled). Trophic changes (may be related to immobility). Sensory Exam Psychological Factors Treatment Local Treatment of Wound Sympathetic Blocks Sympathectomy Other Suture removal Neurolysis Radiotherapy Sympathetic Dystrophy (Sudek's Atrophy) Clinical Features Joint symptoms such as pseudorheumatism, pseudoarthritis. Osteoarthritis of the affected part, acute bone atrophy. Burning dull pain early on. Skin is warm, red, sweaty, edematous. By third month, decreased pain, skin becomes pale and shiny, dry, cool. Brittle nails, loss of hair, muscle atrophy. Array of psychogenic causes. May be more amenable to cure than causalgia by blocks. Predisposing Factors Trauma (joints, bones, nerves)

In the same year he wrote: "The discussion does deal with the acute inflammation of the joints of brush with early appearing difficulty of movement and sickliness of the joints of fingers and very frequently - through several weeks - from the strongly expressed by atrophy entire extremity". 1916 - R.

Complex Regional Pain Syndrome Type 1 (CRPS) Author: Julie Hodder Introduction Overview Specifics Summary ... References Back to Encyclopedia Index Introduction: Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) is reported to be one of the most difficult and painful conditions that the podiatrist is likely to treat (Perlman, 1992). It is a syndrome with a primary symptom of constant, burning pain (Wyngarden and Bleyaert, 1991). Other symptoms include hyperesthesia, swelling, hyperhidrosis and trophic changes in the skin and bone of the affected extremity (Schwartzman and McLellan, 1987). There are a number of events that can lead to CRPS with trauma being a significant factor (McNerney, 1991). The resultant pain is usually greater than the initial injury (Perlman, 1992) and there are a number of other aetiological factors associated with the syndrome development. In 1994 the International Association for the Study of Pain reclassified regional sympathetic dystrophy syndrome (RSDS) as Complex Regional Pain Syndrome Type 1. Causalgia is now referred to as Complex Regional Pain Syndrome Type 2 (Canadian RSD Network, 1998). Back to Contents Overview: Incidence History Aetiology Pathogenesis Clinical Features Diagnosis Radiological Evaluation Differential Diagnosis Treatment Prognosis Conclusion References Back to Contents Specifics: Incidence CRPS can affect any one but is most common in females aged 40 to 60 years of age (Johnson, 1989). The ratio of female: male is 3:2 and the average incidence is 1% to 15% of the population (Purdy and Miller, 1992).

The lesions were located in the median nerve at the wrist in five of the patients; in both the ulnar nerve at the elbow and the median nerve at the wrist in one; and in the ulnar nerve at the elbow, the radial digital nerve of the index finger, and the posterior tibial nerve near the ankle in one patient each. The average duration of symptoms before treatment was seventeen weeks. All nine patients had clinical findings that were considered diagnostic of sympathetic maintained pain or causalgia. Electrophysiological evidence of dysfunction of one peripheral nerve or more was found in the eight patients who had an electromyogram and a nerve-conduction study.
