Stage 1 (lasts 1-3 months) Severe burning, aching pain increasing with the slightest touch or breeze Swelling with warmth or coolness Skin becomes dry and thin, changes color Increased nail and hair growth Pain may move further up or down the affected limb Stage 2 (lasts 3-6 months) Swelling spreads Noticeable changes in skin texture and color Decreased hair growth Changes in bone seen in x-rays Stiff muscles and joints Stage 3 (irreversible changes become evident) Pain may exist in the entire limb Permanent tissue changes Muscle wasting Limited mobility in limb Contractions involving muscles and tendons Depression or changes in mood may accompany these symptoms, especially in stage 3.

RSD is an older term used to describe one form of Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS). Both RSD and CRPS are nerve disorders characterized by chronic severe burning pain, pathological changes in bone and skin, excessive sweating, tissue swelling and extreme sensitivity to touch. RSD is sometimes called Type I CRPS, which is triggered by tissue injury where there is no underlying nerve injury, while Type II CRPS refers to cases where a high-velocity impact (such as a bullet wound) occurred at the site and is clearly associated with nerve injury. Type II used to be called "causalgia" and was first documented over 100 years ago by doctors concerned about the pain that Civil War veterans suffered even after their wounds had healed. RSD is unique in that it affects the nerves, skin, muscles, blood vessels and bones at the same time. What are symptoms of RSD/CRPS?

Health Encyclopedia Health Encyclopedia Back to main Health Information page Disease - Complex regional pain syndrome Definition: Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is a chronic pain syndrome with two forms. CRPS 1 currently replaces the term "reflex sympathetic dystrophy syndrome". It is a chronic nerve disorder that occurs most often in the arms or legs after a minor or major injury. CRPS 1 is associated with severe pain; changes in the nails, bone, and skin; and an increased sensitivity to touch in the affected limb. CRPS 2 replaces the term causalgia, and results from an identified injury to the nerve. Alternative Names: Causes And Risk: CRPS often develops after an injury or infection that has occurred in an arm or leg. It can also occur after heart attacks and strokes. However, the condition can sometimes appear without obvious injury to the affected limb. The cause of CRPS is not completely understood. It is thought to result from damage to the nervous system, including the nerves that control the blood vessels and sweat glands. The damaged nerves are no longer able to properly control blood flow, sensation, and temperature to the affected area. This leads to medical problems in the nerves, blood vessels, skin, bones, and muscles.

This condition involves abnormalities of the sympathetic nervous system, which controls blood flow and sweat glands (temperature). CRPS usually occurs ages 40-60, but it can affect children and the elderly; it is more common in women than men. Onset might occur after even mild injury to nerves, bones or joints; or from surgery, infections, cancer, diabetes, stroke, heart attack or from the use of certain medications. Some people develop it without any recognizable cause.

Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy; 2. Causalgia; 3. Mixed. A great number of predisposing and precipitating factors have been described in relation to aetiology. Anticonvulsant therapy has been employed occasionally to control pain associated to CRPS. We report the case of a 52-year-old male who suffers from CRPS, with two relevant facts: firstly, the symptoms manifested after undergoing a coronary by-pass with radial artery; secondly, the symptoms disappeared after treatment with gabapentin. Our therapeutic approach has been remarkably effective and well tolerated and therefore it should be taken into account as a treatment option. Moreover, to our knowledge, no reference has been found of other cases of CRPS after coronary bypass graft surgery.

Its rich and complicated history continues to unfold within the context of a continuously expanding body of knowledge drawn from many disciplines. This volume illuminates the most recent advances in the study of the mechanisms underlying Complex Regional Pain Syndrome and sheds new light on approaches to diagnosis. The complexity of this syndrome presents a challenge to both scientists and clinicians, and its management requires a multidisciplinary approach. The symposium that generated Complex Regional Pain Syndrome brought together a broad spectrum of internationally renowned specialists from diverse backgrounds, each of whom provides a piece of the overall puzzle. By integrating these contributions skillfully, the editors present a cohesive overview of the current status of CRPS research and diagnosis. The material presented in this book documents the latest knowledge available in our understanding of CRPS and introduces new diagnostic approaches. It will contribute to the development of new treatment strategies.
