Biomedicines. 2023 Aug 14;11(8):2263. doi: 10.3390/biomedicines11082263.

Abstract

Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is a rare but debilitating chronic pain disorder characterized by persistent pain disproportionate to any preceding injury. CRPS can have a significant impact on a person's quality of life, often leading to disability and psychological distress. Despite being recognized for over a century, finding the right treatment for CRPS can be challenging. In this article, we will explore the causes, symptoms, and interventional treatment options for CRPS, as well as the latest research on this complex and often misunderstood condition.

Keywords: chronic regional pain syndrome; complex regional pain syndrome; neuropathic pain.
