    Extractions: Mary Elizabeth Greipp, RN, EdD, FAAN Millicent, a 22-year-old secretary, simply tripped while running for an elevator. By early evening, she was limping on a swollen, painful right ankle. By the next morning, despite ice, elevation, and acetaminophen (Tylenol), the pain persisted and her ankle remained swollen, red, and warm to the touch. She stayed out of work to visit her family physician. After normal x-ray findings, Millicent started a course of physical therapy and analgesics. Despite treatment, she still suffered from symptoms of swelling and extreme pain that now extended up her lower leg from the affected area. She was unable to go to the office to work. Ten weeks after the blocks, Millicent is now able to function well enough to work, but not to play on the company softball team. She has very mild, continuous pain and she favors the affected leg when walking. Her prognosis is guarded, and if her pain or other symptoms flare up, she will need another series of blocks.

    Even with recognition and authorization, a number of problems make the treatment of these complex regional pain syndromes difficult.

    Extractions: Considerable controversy still swirls around complex regional pain syndrome (reflex sympathetic dystrophy and causalgia). Questions about diagnosis, causation, whether the treatment being offered is appropriate, what the "true" level of disability is, and whether anything else can be done to assist the individual with managing pain are of great importance to all parties involved. While the common objective for the injured worker is increased function and return to gainful employment, there are many different opinions about how to achieve this goal. Confusing matters further is the change in terminology to Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS I for RSD and CRPS II for causalgia). This article update is provided to clarify these issues. INTRODUCTION In my practice, a significant number of patients are referred and come labeled with various diagnoses such as complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD), causalgia, sympathetically or non-sympathetically maintained pain. The overabundance of terms used to describe these overlapping clinical entities only serves to highlight the confusion within the medical field regarding the cause, diagnosis and appropriate treatment of patients.

Nirel(2) September 1998 ABSTRACT The aim of the present investigation was to examine if pressure algometry can identify a specific pain sensitivity profile in patients with complex regional pain syndrome, and to distinguish complex regional pain syndromes from other chronic pain dysfunction syndromes. Pressure pain threshold and pain tolerance measured at the sternum in 17 patients with complex regional pain syndrome, Type I (reflex sympathetic dystrophy), were compared with values obtained in 13 patients suffering from other chronic pain dysfunction syndromes and in a control group of 24 pain-free volunteers.

    http://www.aafp.org/afp/971200ap/pittman.html
    
    Extractions: Articles Departments Patient Information The term "complex regional pain syndrome" encompasses causalgia and reflex sympathetic dystrophy. Symptoms of burning pain with autonomic and tissue changes begin shortly after an injury, usually to a distal extremity. The diagnosis is based on the history and the clinical findings. No confirmatory tests are available, although plain radiographs or a three-phase bone scan may be helpful in diagnosing some cases. Aggressive treatment, which may include sympathetic blockade, medications, physical therapy and psychotherapy, is essential for a favorable outcome. Despite treatment, many patients are left with varying degrees of chronic pain and disability. Complex regional pain syndrome is a perplexing condition that can occur following injury, usually to an extremity. Patients with this syndrome experience burning pain along with autonomic and tissue changes in the region of the injury. This group of symptoms has also been referred to as "reflex sympathetic dystrophy" or, in the case of a known nerve injury, "causalgia." To clarify the confusing terminology, the International Association for the Study of Pain in 1993 designated "complex regional pain syndrome" to correspond with reflex sympathetic dystrophy (type I) and causalgia (type II).

Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is a chronic pain condition that is believed to be the result of dysfunction in the central or peripheral nervous systems. Typical features include dramatic changes in the color and temperature of the skin over the affected limb or body part, accompanied by intense burning pain, skin sensitivity, sweating, and swelling. CRPS I is frequently triggered by tissue injury; the term describes all patients with the above symptoms but with no underlying nerve injury. Patients with

Very rarely, the disease can affect other parts of your body. You may experience intense burning or aching pain along with swelling, skin discoloration, altered temperature, abnormal sweating and hypersensitivity in the affected area. The nature of CRPS is puzzling, and the cause isn't clearly understood. The condition may result from disturbances in the sympathetic nervous system, the part of the nervous system that controls blood flow and your sweat glands. The disease commonly follows an acute problem. Most often, CRPS is preceded by a major injury to an arm or a leg, but it may also be triggered by an illness such as a heart attack or a minor injury you can't even recall.

    Extractions: Overview Reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD), also known as complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), is a chronic progressive neurological condition that affects skin, muscles, joints, and bones. The syndrome usually develops in an injured limb, such as a broken leg. However, many cases of RSD involve only a minor injury, such as a sprain. And in some cases, no precipitating event can be identified. Pain may begin in one area or limb and then spread to other limbs. RSD/CRPS is characterized by various degrees of burning pain, excessive sweating, swelling, and sensitivity to touch. Symptoms of RSD/CRPS may recede for years and then reappear with a new injury.

    Extractions: Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) is a chronic pain condition. A patient with CRPS has pain as well as changes in blood flow, sweating, and swelling in the painful area. Sometimes the condition leads to changes in the skin, bones and other tissues. It may also become hard for a patient with CRPS to move the painful body part. The patient's arms or legs are usually involved, but CRPS may affect any part of the body, such as the face or trunk. In some patients, many different areas of the body are affected. CRPS can be progressive (meaning that it gets worse at one site or spreads to other sites), or it can stay the same for a long time or even improve on its own.
