Complex Regional Pain Syndrome, Current Concepts and Treatment Options

Abstract

Purpose of Review

Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) refers to a chronic pain condition that is characterized by progressively worsening spontaneous regional pain without dermatomal distribution. The symptomatology includes pain out of proportion in time and severity to the inciting event. The purpose of this review is to present the most current information concerning epidemiology, diagnosis, pathophysiology, and therapy for CRPS.

Recent Findings

In recent years, discovery of pathophysiologic mechanisms of CRPS has led to significant strides in the understanding of the disease process.

Summary

Continued elucidation of the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms will allow for the development of more targeted and effective evidence-based therapy protocols. Further large clinical trials are needed to investigate mechanisms and treatment of the disorder.
