CRPS Type I

1 Articles

Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) is a chronic pain condition that usually affects one limb (arm, leg, hand, or foot), often after an injury, surgery, stroke, or heart attack. CRPS is characterized by prolonged or excessive pain and changes in skin color, temperature, and/or swelling in the affected area. It is considered a disorder of the nervous system, particularly involving abnormal responses of peripheral and central nerves.

Complex Regional Pain Syndrome causes and treatment

CRPS Type I: Occurs without a confirmed nerve injury (formerly called Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy). CRPS Type II: Occurs with a confirmed nerve injury (formerly called Causalgia).
