چکیده
(formerly known as reflex sympathetic dystrophy) elicits in absence of any obvious nerve injury, whereas CRPS Type II (previously termed causalgia) is associated with injury to a major peripheral nerve. However, the clinical presentations of the two types are normally indistinguishable. Limb fracture is the most common traumatic event that precedes CRPS. Lesions of the central nervous system, e.g. spinal cord injuries and stroke, can also trigger CRPS. The risk of developing CRPS following fracture is about 1-2% [1-4].

متن کاملTerminology, criteria, and definitions in complex regional pain syndrome: challenges and solutions
Complex regional pain syndrome has long been recognized as a severe and high impact chronic pain disorder.

OBJECTIVE To review the implications of a local overproduction of tumor necrosis factor-α for the pathogenesis and treatment of complex regional pain syndrome. BACKGROUND Elevated local production of tumor necrosis factor-α contributes to prolonged inflammation in the early stages of complex regional pain syndrome. Consequences could include hypoxia and necrosis of local tissues. METHOD...
