"In further defining reflex sympathetic dystrophy, previously defined as casualgia problems, it is helpful to understand what I term sympathetic reactivity, a component of the reflex sympathetic dystrophy issue. You may call when you were in grade school your teacher described the "fight or flight" mechanism. Picture a scenario where you are walking down a dark street in a not-so-good neighborhood at about 1:00 A.M. You are lost and the area is poorly lit. As you pass by an alleyway someone jumps out in front of you. Your body prepares for either "fight" or "flight." Essentially your heart begins to beat faster and your blood vessels dilate to increase circulation to your arm and leg muscles. The nerves at the tips of your fingers and your arms actually became heightened in sensitivity for better tactile response. Your eyes become wide open with your pupils dilated to take in any activity and action that might occur. You may even begin to sweat at this point, and there is a significant surge in intensity of all of your senses.

Hooshmand, M.D. Causalgia " A syndrome of sustained burning pain after a traumatic nerve injury combined with vasomotor and sudomotor dysfunction and later trophic changes" Merskey Causalgias are divided into two forms: Causalgia major involves peripheral nerve injury with electrical "crosstalk" (ephapse) that causes severe hyperactivity of sympathetic system (hyperpathia, vasoconstriction, and movement disorder). The major form is severe, usually caused by injury with high velocity sharp objects (e.g., butcher's knife), vibratory component major trauma (e.g., bullet), or high-voltage nerve lesions (electrocution). Causalgia minor involves the same principle as causalgia major, but milder injury, e.g., injury to the dorsum of hand or foot, nerve root contusion, patient falling from a height on gluteal region resulting in "guillotine" effect, bruising of nerve root caught at the narrowed intervertebral foramen.

   Extractions: Chronic pain due to nerve injury is common, under-recognized, and one of the most challenging clinical pain problems. Often the patient has been told the problem is mental or psychological - particularly if no obvious physical signs suggest how intense and disabling the pain may be. Frequently, there is a history of one or more surgical interventions. An opioid analgesic may have been tried but may only "take the edge "Chronic pain due to nerve injury is common, under-recognized, and one of the most challenging clinical pain problems." off," leading the patient to seek higher doses and raising the stigma of addiction for both patient and physician. Patients may suffer for years without proper assessment, only to be confused and frustrated when the correct diagnosis is made and treatment options are described. What is causalgia?

Schott Save a personal copy of this article and quickly find it again with Furl.net. It's free! Save it. Causalgia and reflex sympathetic dystrophy are poorly understood disorders that most commonly follow trauma to a limb, although they are also seen in other medical conditions. Patients typically develop chronic burning pain, together with various combinations of sensory disturbances, swelling, and vasomotor, sudomotor, and trophic changes.[1-3] Traditionally, the pain is treated by interrupting the sympathetic supply to the painful area. Is this an effective approach? Periarterial sympathectomy was first used to treat causalgia, in which, by definition, major nerve injury occurs. Various forms of surgical sympathectomy have subsequently been carried out,[3 4] especially during war time, when controlled trials were not feasible, and so whether surgery was truly effective will never be known. Open surgical sympathectomy to relieve pain in causalgia and related conditions is rarely recommended now, not least because less invasive proceduresincluding endoscopic sympathectomy and percutaneous radiofrequency lesioning of the sympathetic trunkhave been developed, although critical evaluation of efficacy is awaited.[4]

    Extractions: PAIN DIAGNOSES INDEX What is causalgia? Causalgia is a rare syndrome that follows partial peripheral nerve injuries. It is characterized by a triad of burning pain, autonomic dysfunction and trophic changes. Severe cases are called major causalgia. Minor causalgia describes less severe forms, similar to reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD). RSD has predominant muscular and joint symptoms, with osteoporosis being common on x-ray. What causes causalgia? Causalgia is caused by peripheral nerve injuries, usually brachial plexus injuries. Denervation causes hypersensitivity resulting in increased pain and increased norepinephrine release causes the sympathetic findings. What are the clinical findings? Pain: usually burning, and prominent in hand or foot. Onset in the majority is within 24 hours of injury. The median, ulnar and sciatic nerves are the most commonly involved. Almost any sensory stimulation worsens the pain.

    Extractions: Causalgia : Reflex sympathetic dystrophy syndrome (RSDS) is a chronic condition characterized by severe burning pain, pathological changes in bone and skin, excessive sweating, tissue swelling, and extreme sensitivity to touch. The syndrome is a nerve disorder that occurs at the site of an injury (most often to the arms or legs). It occurs especially after injuries from high-velocity impacts such as those from bullets or shrapnel. However, it may occur without apparent injury.

    Extractions: Relief of Pain and Suffering Phantom limb pain and causalgia were two clinical pain syndromes that could not be explained in terms of specific nerve pathways Amputees experienced phantom limbs: the distinct sensation that the missing arm or leg was still attached, often held in a distorted, intensely painful, position. Causalgia, first described by the American physician, Silas Weir Mitchell , was even more puzzling. After an injury had healed, the patient experienced intense, burning pain and sensitivity to the slightest vibration or touch, usually in the hand or foot, but at a site some distance removed from the original wound. Both disorders sometimes persisted for years. Anesthesiologists used localized nerve blocks to relieve the pain and neurosurgeons developed techniques for severing the nerve pathways involved; but neither treatment was consistently successful. In the great wars, these relatively rare conditions afflicted many soldiers and baffled and disturbed their doctors: Mitchell in the American Civil War , the French surgeon in World War I , William Livingston in World War II . How could phantom limb and causalgia be explained in terms of the specific neural pathways that conducted pain sensation directly from the site of tissue damage?

Medical Encyclopedia Alternate Names : Causalgia, CRPS, Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy Syndrome, RSDS, Shoulder-Hand Syndrome, Sudeck's Atrophy 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.
