What is Complex Regional Pain Syndrome?

Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) is an uncommon, long-term, and often disabling condition that usually impacts one limb (arm, leg, hand, or foot) typically after an injury, surgery, stroke, or heart attack. The main symptom is long-lasting severe pain that can be constant and, in some cases, very uncomfortable or upsetting. The pain is thought to be 'disproportionate' to the seriousness of the initial injury. The cause of CRPS is not yet fully understood.

Typical Symptoms of Complex Regional Pain Syndrome

Diagnostic Questions for Complex Regional Pain Syndrome

Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this disease:

  • Are there rashes on previous injury sites?
  • Are you experiencing arm pain?
  • Do you have pain all over your body?
  • Are you experiencing pain in your thigh?
  • Do you have constant pain?

Treatment of Complex Regional Pain Syndrome

The best way to treat CRPS is to start early. This usually involves a mix of drugs and therapies. Drugs can include things like NSAIDs, corticosteroids, antidepressants, and anticonvulsants. Physical therapy can also help improve movement in the affected limb. Other treatments might be nerve blocks or spinal cord stimulation. Mental health therapy is also a key part of treatment because this condition can greatly affect a person's mental well-being.
