Sensitization of the Nociceptive System in Complex Regional Pain Syndrome
BACKGROUND Complex regional pain syndrome type I (CRPS-I) is characterized by sensory, motor and autonomic abnormalities without electrophysiological evidence of a nerve lesion. OBJECTIVE Aims were to investigate how sensory, autonomic and motor function change in the course of the disease. METHODS 19 CRPS-I patients (17 with acute, 2 with chronic CRPS, mean duration of disease 5.7±8.3, ran...
متن کاملDiagnosis and management of complex regional pain syndrome complicating upper extremity recovery.
Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is a clinical syndrome of pain, autonomic dysfunction, trophic changes, and functional impairment. CRPS is common after hand trauma or surgery. Early diagnosis and intervention is critical for adequate recovery. The diagnosis of CRPS requires a careful history, physical examination, and supporting diagnostic testing. Optimal treatment requires a multidiscip...
متن کاملThe evolution and progression of complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS): recent insights into the nociceptive role of cytokines and management of CRPS with anticytokine therapy.
Dear Editor-in-Chief: I read with great interest the recent article by Rand about complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) in a recent issue of Current Sports Medicine Reports (6). Recent studies into the etiology and evolution of CRPS have reported a number of interesting results. One such aspect has been the evolving role of chemical mediators such as cytokines in the evolution and progression o...
متن کاملSensory disturbances in complex regional pain syndrome: clinical observations, autonomic interactions, and possible mechanisms.
OBJECTIVE To review mechanisms that might contribute to sensory disturbances and sympathetically-maintained pain in complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS). BACKGROUND CRPS is associated with a range of sensory and autonomic abnormalities. In a subpopulation of patients, sympathetic nervous system arousal and intradermal injection of adrenergic agonists intensify pain. RESULTS Mechanisms resp...
متن کاملEvidence for cortical hyperexcitability of the affected limb representation area in CRPS: a psychophysical and transcranial magnetic stimulation study.
Functional alterations in noxious, sensory and motor circuits within the central nervous system may play an important role in the pathophysiology of complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS). The aim of the present study was to search for further evidence of hyperexcitability in the hemisphere contralateral to the affected limb in patients with CRPS by employing both psychophysical and transcranial...
