Complex Regional Pain Syndrome Treatment in Indore

Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS)

Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), formerly known as Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD), is a chronic pain condition that typically affects one limb, usually after an injury or trauma. CRPS is characterized by intense, constant pain that may be disproportionate to the severity of the initial injury and can significantly impair function and quality of life.

Causes & Symptoms

The exact cause of CRPS is not fully understood, but it is believed to involve abnormal nervous system responses to injury or trauma. Some potential triggers for CRPS include:

  • Trauma: Fractures, sprains, surgery, or other traumatic injuries can trigger CRPS.
  • Nerve damage: In some cases, CRPS may develop following nerve injury or surgery.
  • Surgery: CRPS can occur after surgical procedures, particularly those involving the limbs.
  • Infection: Certain infections or illnesses may precede the onset of CRPS.

Symptoms of CRPS may include:

  • Persistent, burning pain that may be severe and worsens over time.
  • Swelling, redness, or changes in skin temperature and texture in the affected limb.
  • Sensory disturbances such as hypersensitivity to touch, temperature, or pressure.
  • Motor symptoms such as muscle weakness, tremors, or dystonia.
  • Impaired mobility and function in the affected limb.
