Product Description
Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is the new nomenclature that encompasses the older diagnostic entities of reflex sympathetic dystrophy (now CRPS 1) and causalgia (CRPS 2). CRPS arises after injuries such as sprains, strains, or fractures, but in some patients the cause is unknown. Although a perennial suspect in the pathogenesis of this entity, the sympathetic nervous system's role in CRPS remains unclear. New studies provide insight into the contribution of the sympathetic nervous system to CRPS and allow reevaluation of clinical features, diagnostic criteria, testing methods, and treatment modalities.

Physiologists have long recognized that the sympathetic nervous system has a central role in protective and adaptive reflexes and adjustments in response to acute stress and impending pain. These normal protective responses are essential for survival and for coping with environmental challenges. However, only in the mid-20th century has the role of the sympathetic nervous system in generating and maintaining pain states been acknowledged.1 Despite considerable focused research, the exact mechanisms underlying pain syndromes with sympathetic nervous system involvement are not totally clear. ...

Excerpt: Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is a chronic progressive disease characterized by severe pain, swelling and changes in the skin. There is no cure. The International Association for the Study of Pain has divided CRPS into two types based on the presence of nerve lesion following the injury. The cause of this syndrome is currently unknown. Precipitating factors include injury and surgery, although there are documented cases that have no demonstrable injury to the original site.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Chronic pain is defined as pain that persists longer than the temporal course of natural healing, associated with a particular type of injury or disease process. The International Association for the Study of Pain defines pain as "an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage, or described in terms of such damage." Pain is subjective in nature and is defined by the person experiencing it, and the medical community's understanding of chronic pain now includes the impact that the mind has in processing and interpreting pain signals. ...
