Cortical changes in complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS).
Recent research suggests that changes in cortical structures can contribute to the pathophysiology of Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS). This review provides an overview of studies showing cortical involvement in CRPS, including mislocalizations of tactile stimuli, changes in size and organization of the somatosensory map, changes in motor cortex representation and body perception disturban...
متن کاملComplex Regional Pain Syndrome ( CRPS ) and Sympathectomy

Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is a painful condition that most often affects limbs. Upper extremity is affected more frequently than lower extremity. The character of the pain is continuing, spontaneous, usually burning and unexpectedly severe pain considering any inciting cause.

متن کاملComplex Regional Pain Syndrome ( CRPS ) 16
The term Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) is a pain disorder in which the pain is disproportionate to the initial inciting injury. The disorder is complex because it involves multiple organ systems with abnormal blood flow, sweating abnormalities, trophic changes, and fine motor impairment. The pain distribution tends to be regional (not dermatomal), and is not limited to the area initiall...
