Tissue hypoxia in complex regional pain syndrome.

Untreated complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) may progress from acute stages with increased hair and nail growth in the affected limb to chronic stages with atrophy of the skin, muscles and bones. The aim of this study was to investigate whether tissue hypoxia could be one mechanism responsible for this late CRPS symptoms. Nineteen patients with CRPS and two control groups (healthy control su...

Impaired oxygen utilization in skeletal muscle of CRPS I patients.

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to evaluate oxygen extraction and utilization in end stage chronic complex regional pain syndrome type I (CRPS I) patients undergoing amputation and to relate these to muscle histology of the amputated limb. MATERIALS AND METHODS In 25 patients with severe CRPS I requiring amputation of the affected limb venous blood samples and in 11 patients skeletal...

Expression of Endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase and Endothelin-1 in Skin Tissue from Amputated Limbs of Patients with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Impaired microcirculation during the chronic stage of complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is related to increased vasoconstriction, tissue hypoxia, and metabolic tissue acidosis in the affected limb. Endothelial dysfunction is suggested to be the main cause of diminished blood flow. The aim of this study was to examine the distribution of endothelial nitric oxide syn...

Regulation of peripheral blood flow in Complex Regional Pain Syndrome: clinical implication for symptomatic relief and pain management

BACKGROUND During the chronic stage of Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), impaired microcirculation is related to increased vasoconstriction, tissue hypoxia, and metabolic tissue acidosis in the affected limb. Several mechanisms may be responsible for the ischemia and pain in chronic cold CPRS. DISCUSSION The diminished blood flow may be caused by either sympathetic dysfunction, hypersens...

Patients with syndrome X have normal transmural myocardial perfusion and oxygenation: a 3-T cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging study.

BACKGROUND The pathophysiology of chest pain in patients with cardiac syndrome X remains controversial. Advances in perfusion imaging with cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) now enable absolute quantification of regional myocardial blood flow (MBF). Furthermore, blood oxygen level-dependent (BOLD) or oxygenation-sensitive CMR provides the unprecedented capability to assess regional myocard...
