Patients with chronic neuropathic pain (non-CRPS) and brush-evoked allodynia watched a reflected image of their corresponding but opposite skin region being brushed in a mirror. Unlike complex regional pain syndrome Type 1, this process did not evoke any sensation at the affected area ('dysynchiria'). We conclude that central nociceptive sensitisation alone is not sufficient to cause dysynchiri...

This review summarizes current information about diagnosis and treatment of complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) in children. Although it has been widely held that CRPS in children is intrinsically different from adults, there appear to be relatively few differences. However, there is a marked preponderance of lower extremity cases in children. Historically, psychological factors have been inv...

People with complex regional pain syndrome type 1 (CRPS1) watched a reflected image of their unaffected limb being touched and felt pain or paresthesia at the corresponding site on the affected limb.
