Please check the synonyms listing to find the alternate name(s) and disorder subdivision(s) covered by this report. Synonyms Algodystrophy Algoneurodystrophy Causalgia Syndrome (Major) Reflex Neurovascular Dystrophy RSDS Sudeck's Atrophy Complex Regional Pain Syndrome Disorder Subdivisions None General Discussion Reflex sympathetic dystrophy syndrome (RSDS), also known as complex regional pain syndrome, is a rare disorder of the sympathetic nervous system that is characterized by chronic, severe pain. The sympathetic nervous system is that part of the autonomic nervous system that regulates involuntary functions of the body such as increasing heart rate, constricting blood vessels, and increasing blood pressure. Excessive or abnormal responses of portions of the sympathetic nervous system are thought to be responsible for the pain associated with reflex sympathetic dystrophy syndrome. The symptoms of reflex sympathetic dystrophy syndrome typically begin with burning pain, especially in an arm, finger(s), palm of the hand(s), and/or shoulder(s). In some individuals, RSDS may occur in one or both legs or it may be localized to one knee or hip. Frequently, RSDS may be misdiagnosed as a painful nerve injury. The skin over the affected area(s) may become swollen (edema) and inflamed. Affected skin may be extremely sensitive to touch and to hot or cold temperatures (cutaneous hypersensitivity). The affected limb(s) may perspire excessively and be warm to the touch (vasomotor instability). The exact cause of RSDS is not fully understood, although it may be associated with injury to the nerves, trauma, surgery, atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, infection, or radiation therapy.

Many sites provide valuable information, while others may have information that is unreliable or misleading." Furthermore, because of the rapid increase in Internet-based information, many hours can be wasted searching, selecting, and printing. Since only the smallest fraction of information dealing with complex regional pain syndrome is indexed in search engines, such as www.google.com or others, a non-systematic approach to Internet research can be not only time consuming, but also incomplete. This book was created for medical professionals, students, and members of the general public who want to conduct medical research using the most advanced tools available and spending the least amount of time doing so.

ASA NEWSLETTER October 2002 Volume 66 Number 10 Phantom Limb and Causalgia Pain in the Three Great Wars Doris K. Cope, M.D. Committee on Pain Medicine Silas Weir Mitchell, M.D. (1829-1914). Photo courtesy of Library of the College of Physicians of Philadelphia. Civil War (1861-1865) There have been few conflicts in history as bloody as the American Civil War, where technology in the form of rifled muskets able to fire up to eight aimed shots a minute at a killing range of 500 yards were employed by soldiers of both sides while still using outmoded "close-order drill military tactics more appropriate to Revolutionary War technology." But Dr. Mitchell was confronted with real patients in pain, and so he carefully documented their presenting symptoms and course of illness. He described the "hallucinations," which we now call phantom limb pain as "the sensorial delusions to which persons are subject in connection with their lost limbs."
