Complex regional pain syndrome (Q41471)
From determinar.ia.br - Determine suas informações
Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is a chronic pain condition in an extremity with a variable course over time. It is characterized by continuing regional pain (not in a specific nerve territory or dermatome), usually with distal predominance or distal-to-proximal gradient. It typically arises after tissue trauma and is seemingly disproportionate in magnitude or duration to the usual course of pain after such tissue trauma. CRPS is characterized by signs indicating autonomic and neuro-inflammatory changes in the affected body region varying between patients and over time. Often, CRPS is accompanied by significant emotional distress or functional disability. CRPS is multifactorial.
