June 02, 2004 EDT OAS_RICH("hedthick"); Complex Regional Pain Q: Why are blood pressure medications recommended for Complex Regional Pain (also known as Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy or RSD)? A: Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) is a nerve-injury pain that is sometimes mistaken for repetitive soft-tissue strain, a hairline fracture, an infection, a trapped nerve, fascitis, or bone spurs. Its symptoms include redness and swelling, a sudden change in skin color and temperature from red hot to cool blue, and a constant burning that is sometimes accompanied by a jolt of electricity. This disease involves a specific part of the nervous system called the sympathetic system. The sympathetic system is responsible for functions such as heart rate, sweating, changes in skin temperature, as well as blood pressure. Thus, medications that control blood pressure can help with this type of pain. CRPS can be a chameleon, quickly flaring up and dying down, revealing only one or two of its characteristic symptoms rather than its full spectrum of symptoms. In some patients, the disease causes hair loss along the affected limb; in others it stimulates hair growth. Similarly, a patient's skin may be warmer or cooler than normal. Early treatment has the best chance for success with CRPS. When the problem has lingered, it is rare that a single nerve block can defeat it. Often, treatment entails a series of injections, and even with this approach, I am never surprised if the pain returns.

Its rich and complicated history continues to unfold within the context of a continuously expanding body of knowledge drawn from many disciplines. This volume illuminates the most recent advances in the study of the mechanisms underlying Complex Regional Pain Syndrome and sheds new light on approaches to diagnosis. The complexity of this syndrome presents a challenge to both scientists and clinicians, and its management requires a multidisciplinary approach. The symposium that generated Complex Regional Pain Syndrome brought together a broad spectrum of internationally renowned specialists from diverse backgrounds, each of whom provides a piece of the overall puzzle. By integrating these contributions skillfully, the editors present a cohesive overview of the current status of CRPS research and diagnosis. The material presented in this book documents the latest knowledge available in our understanding of CRPS and introduces new diagnostic approaches. It will contribute to the development of new treatment strategies.

Making An Appointment Patient Care Services Insurance Coverage Support Programs ... Information for Donors Complex Regional Pain Syndrome Complex regional pain syndrome, also known as reflex sympathetic dystrophy is a very perplexing cause of pain for many people. What causes complex regional pain syndrome? Complex regional pain syndrome most often follows an injury or surgery to an extremity, especially the hand or foot. Instead of diminishing as the injury heals, the pain persists and intensifies and spreads. The skin around the affected area can change color, be cold to touch, and may lose all hair follicles. The exact cause of this syndrome is not known, but it is suspected to involve a nerve in the region that is affected. How is complex regional pain syndrome treated? Complex regional pain syndrome is most likely to respond to treatment the earlier it is recognized and treated. After the syndrome has lasted a year or longer, treatment may be offered but the chances of cure dwindle. Therefore, seek help as soon as possible. Complex regional pain syndrome is usually treated first with anti-inflammatory drugs and physical therapy.

This condition involves abnormalities of the sympathetic nervous system, which controls blood flow and sweat glands (temperature). CRPS usually occurs ages 40-60, but it can affect children and the elderly; it is more common in women than men. Onset might occur after even mild injury to nerves, bones or joints; or from surgery, infections, cancer, diabetes, stroke, heart attack or from the use of certain medications. Some people develop it without any recognizable cause.

It sometimes follows a traumatic event. When it involves the hand, symptoms include throbbing, burning pain that worsens when exposed to cold. Even a light touch to the hand may be painful. Treatment includes stellate ganglion blockade, (described below), often in combination with anti-seizure medications and tricyclic antidepressant medications. Narcotic analgesics are usually not the first line of treatment for pain from CRPS. Stellate ganglion blockade: The needle is placed near the site seen above and numbing medicine injected What to Expect You will be given an intravenous catheter (IV) and taken to the procedure room. Monitors will be placed on you to track your vital signs. Your neck will be cleaned and draped under sterile conditions. Using x-ray (fluoroscopy) as guidance, the needle will be placed in your neck and the dye injected to help determine if the needle is in the right position.

Complex Regional Pain Syndrome Type 1 (CRPS) Author: Julie Hodder Introduction Overview Specifics Summary ... References Back to Encyclopedia Index Introduction: Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) is reported to be one of the most difficult and painful conditions that the podiatrist is likely to treat (Perlman, 1992). It is a syndrome with a primary symptom of constant, burning pain (Wyngarden and Bleyaert, 1991). Other symptoms include hyperesthesia, swelling, hyperhidrosis and trophic changes in the skin and bone of the affected extremity (Schwartzman and McLellan, 1987). There are a number of events that can lead to CRPS with trauma being a significant factor (McNerney, 1991). The resultant pain is usually greater than the initial injury (Perlman, 1992) and there are a number of other aetiological factors associated with the syndrome development. In 1994 the International Association for the Study of Pain reclassified regional sympathetic dystrophy syndrome (RSDS) as Complex Regional Pain Syndrome Type 1. Causalgia is now referred to as Complex Regional Pain Syndrome Type 2 (Canadian RSD Network, 1998). Back to Contents Overview: Incidence History Aetiology Pathogenesis Clinical Features Diagnosis Radiological Evaluation Differential Diagnosis Treatment Prognosis Conclusion References Back to Contents Specifics: Incidence CRPS can affect any one but is most common in females aged 40 to 60 years of age (Johnson, 1989). The ratio of female: male is 3:2 and the average incidence is 1% to 15% of the population (Purdy and Miller, 1992).

Hogan, MD and Shepard R. Hurwitz, MD SOURCE: Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons. July/August 2002; Vol. 10 No. 4 281-289 PODIATRY RELEVANCE: Complex Regional Pain Syndrome is a difficult therapeutic problem for the surgeon who encounters it. Despite many divergent and often conflicting theories, the cause of the severe pain, alterations in regional blood flow, and edema is unknown. Interventions that have proved successful for treating similar conditions in the arm and hand frequently do not relieve pain similarly in the lower extremity. Despite widespread use of common treatment regimens few controlled clinical trials quantify their effectiveness. METHODS: This is a review article. In lieu of controlled clinical trials the author reviews all past and current literature to bring the clinician up to date on treatment options.

Reflex sympathetic dystrophy hub Reflex sympathetic dystrophy is a chronic condition characterized by severe burning pain, pathological changes in bone and skin, excessive sweating, tissue swelling, and extreme sensitivity to touch. It occurs especially after injuries from high-velocity impacts such as those from bullets or shrapnel. However, it may occur without apparent injury. One visible sign of reflex sympathetic dystrophy near the site of injury is warm, shiny red skin that later becomes cool and bluish.The pain that patients report is out of proportion to the severity of the injury and gets worse, rather than better, over time. Eventually the joints become stiff from disuse, and the skin, muscles, and bone atrophy.
