Complex Regional Pain Syndrome
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is a condition of persistent and disproportionate pain that usually affects a limb, frequently after an injury, fracture, or surgery.
Common manifestations: Intense pain that does not match the severity of the damage, along with changes in the skin, temperature, or color of the affected limb, swelling, and increased sensitivity to touch.
How it arises: It is attributed to an altered response of the nerves and blood vessels in the region; the exact mechanisms are still being studied.
Professional support: The physical therapist plays an important role in the rehabilitation of these cases, together with the treating physician. If pain in an arm or a leg persists and is accompanied by skin changes after an injury, it is worth consulting for a proper evaluation.
