Extractions: (SFB 353, project C3) Fig.1: clinical picture of a CRPS-I after fracture of the ring finger of the right hand In this clinical project the influence of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) on activation of primary afferent nerve fibers is studied. For this objective besides healthy volunteers different groups of patients are included: patients after sympathectomy, and after implantation of vagus nerve stimulators serve as controls for patients with acute (Complex Regional Pain Syndrome, CRPS) or chronic (peripheral neuropathy, PNP) neuropathic pain. To define the contribution of the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) to neuropathic pain a microdialysis system has to be established which quantifies peripheral sympathetic innervation. We will validate the method investigating different body regions and patients before and after sympathectomy.

Extractions: 3. The pain itself may be burning or electrical in nature and is usually non-dermatomal due to hyperalgesia. Allodynia is often present. On an anatomical basis, severed axons and damaged axons form new sprouts known as microneuromas. These are hyperexcitable and within minutes to days after injury begin ectopic firing. Intact collateral nerves also develop ectopia and this spreads the area of pain. Normally non-painful touch fibers join in the excessive stimulation, initially creating paresthesias, but with central sensitization, allodynia develops and spreads to non-dermatomal sites.

Extractions: Nomenclature, Presentation, Aetiology and Management As time goes on, secondary changes can be seen; swelling or oedema. Changes in skin blood flow, often initially an increase and redness of the skin, give way to a decreased skin blood flow with pallor and coldness of the affected limb (because it is almost always the limb or the face. It does not occur in the trunk). There may be abnormal pseudo-motor activity (sweating). Work by Wall showed that even when no obvious nerve damage occurred, any trauma could lead to disruption of nerve axons. This disrupted axon will then produce axon sprouts. These sprouts try to link up with each other and heal the nerve. If they do not link up with another sprout, some die and some lie there; if a collection lie there together they are known as a neuroma. However, it is clear that sometimes there are not enough axons to form any anatomical structure and this is a microscopic finding. However, this axon is exquisitely sensitive to noradrenalin, and any noradrenalin released in the area produces intense stimulation of the nerve, producing severe pain. This is made worse by light touch, stress and movement. In humans, it is also clear that there is good experimental evidence that in some cases the sympathetic nervous system is involved in the maintenance of this pain state. In these patients, injection of noradrenalin into the affected area causes intense pain, whereas in you or I a small dose of noradrenalin injected subcutaneously causes no discomfort whatsoever. Injection of local anaesthetic into this area stops the hyperalgesia. Injection of sympathetic blocking agents, such as Clonidine or Phentolamine, in this area produces alleviation of pain also. Injection of placebo has no effect.

Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy: New Concepts and Unanswered Questions Angela Mailis, MD, MSc, FRCPC (PhysMed) Director, Comprehensive Pain Program, The Toronto Hospital, Toronto, Ontario, Canada Abstract Review of current status of knowledge The term Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD) has been around for many years. The 1st edition of the IASP's classification of Chronic Pain Syndromes in 1987 defines this entity as "continuous pain in a portion of an extremity after trauma which may include fracture, but does not involve a major nerve, associated with sympathetic hyperactivity". The involvement of the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) had been considered fundamental fairly early in the appearance of the condition(s), culminating in 1986 in the introduction of the term "Sympathetically Maintained Pain" by Roberts. The term Causalgia was reserved by IASP in 1987 to define "burning pain, allodynia and hyperpathia, usually in the hand or foot, after partial injury of a nerve or its major branches". A Special Interest Group of the international Association for the Study of Pain, led to a new nomenclature, found in the 1994 Taxonomy edition of the IASP. The term Complex Regional Pain Syndromes (CRPS) was introduced (Type I near synonymous to the term Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy and Type II synonymous to the term causalgia). The new definition for CRPS I is as follows: "A syndrome that usually develops after an initiating noxious event, not limited to the distribution of a single peripheral nerve, and disproportionate to the inciting event. It is associated at some point with evidence of edema, changes in skin blood flow, abnormal sudomotor activity in the region of pain, or allodynia or hyperalgesia". CRPS II (causalgia) is defined in 1994 in a similar manner to the definition of 1987.

Development of new diagnostic strategies for selection of the optimal treatment regimes of autonomic disorders is a major priority of the UCLA Center for Autonomic Disorders Laboratory. Current clinical research efforts are being directed at developing new technologies for minimally invasive surgical treatment and nerve imaging of sympathetically mediated autonomic disorders. Novel medical treatments of autonomically mediated pain syndromes are also being investigated.
