| Abstract: | |
| Keywords: | Diagnostic criteria for complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) should use four separate categories for the features of sensory, vasomotor, sudomotor, and motor/trophic changes. CRPS can involve sympathetically mediated pain or sympathetically independent pain. Management should be multidisciplinary and instituted immediately following diagnosis. Early sympathetic blocks and vitamin C may prevent the development of CRPS. Few studies of sufficient quality are available however, same evidence supports treatment with steroids and bisphosphonates. |
