In this prospective pilot study, nine patients suffering from complex regional pain syndrome of the arm were treated with morphine 0.16 mg h1 (3.84 mg day1) applied continuously through an axillary brachial plexus catheter. In all of them an oral analgesic medication including the less potent opioid tramadol had not provided sufficient pain relief. During regional treatment, patients were kept in hospital and physiotherapy was carried out frequently in order to improve strength and function of the affected arm. Pain at rest and during movement as well as grip strength were assessed at first visit, during morphine infusion and at a long-term follow-up visit. All assessments improved significantly during plexus analgesia. There were no major opioid related side-effects. Results: This pilot study indicates that continuous axillary brachial plexus analgesia with low dose morphine might be beneficial in patients suffering from complex regional pain syndrome of the arm.

MD Department of Anesthesiology; University of Texas Medical Branch; Galveston, Texas; allen.burton@marlin.utmb.edu To the Editor:-Subclavian venous cannulation is a common technique used to obtain central venous access. We report apparent neurologic injury to the brachial plexus, with subsequent development of complex regional pain syndrome type II (CRPS-II), caused by subclavian catheter placement. A 46-yr-old man came to the pain clinic for evaluation of a painful extremity. He had suffered third-degree burns to his right arm 2 months previously. Approximately 6 weeks before his visit, vascular access became difficult during treatment in the burn unit. A left subclavian line was inserted at that time. The patient described the procedure as very difficult. Many attempts at catheter insertion were made, and at one point he described an electric shock-like sensation down his left arm into his hand. The catheter was placed successfully in a subsequent attempt. The patient had immediate left arm pain, which became more painful than his burned right arm over the next 6 weeks. The patient underwent successful skin grafting to his right arm and was discharged from the hospital 4 weeks after being burned.

This link shows an example of such chronic pain with respect to treatment of diabetic neuropathy. Briefly, it was found that gabapentin (brand name: Neurontin) blocks certain pain receptors blocking most of the perception of pain. Along with antidepressants and cognitive therapy methods it is possible to live with the pain and return to some form of daily functioning including a return to suitable work. Dr. Stephen Clarke, Clinical Assistant Professor in the Div. of Neurology of the University of BC/Vancouver/Canada, reviewed the use of gabapentin at a conference in Vancouver/BC in November 2004 (Ref. 5).

For this objective besides healthy volunteers different groups of patients are included: patients after sympathectomy, and after implantation of vagus nerve stimulators serve as controls for patients with acute (Complex Regional Pain Syndrome, CRPS) or chronic (peripheral neuropathy, PNP) neuropathic pain. To define the contribution of the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) to neuropathic pain a microdialysis system has to be established which quantifies peripheral sympathetic innervation. We will validate the method investigating different body regions and patients before and after sympathectomy.

Printer-friendly version Email this article Complex regional pain syndrome is pain that may occur after an injury to an arm or a leg. In rare cases, the syndrome develops after surgery, a heart attack, a stroke or other medical problem. The pain is often described as a burning feeling and is much worse than expected for the injury. Your doctor may also call this condition reflex sympathetic dystrophy or causalgia. The cause of the syndrome is not known. Return to top Your doctor will make the diagnosis based on your pain symptoms and your physical exam. People with this syndrome still have severe pain long after the time when their injuries should have healed. The injured area is often swollen. The color, or the temperature and moistness of the skin may change. The skin may be sensitive to a light touch or to changes in temperature. Usually, no tests are needed to diagnose this condition. Your doctor may order x-rays or blood tests to see whether another illness is causing your pain.

Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) is a chronic pain condition. A patient with CRPS has pain as well as changes in blood flow, sweating, and swelling in the painful area. Sometimes the condition leads to changes in the skin, bones and other tissues. It may also become hard for a patient with CRPS to move the painful body part. The patient's arms or legs are usually involved, but CRPS may affect any part of the body, such as the face or trunk. In some patients, many different areas of the body are affected. CRPS can be progressive (meaning that it gets worse at one site or spreads to other sites), or it can stay the same for a long time or even improve on its own. CRPS usually develops after an injury. The injury may be to the skin, bone, joints or tissue. This type of CRPS has been called

Complex Regional Pain Syndrome What You Should Know Have you been told you have reflex sympathetic dystrophy or causalgia? If so, you have complex regional pain syndrome. What Is Complex Regional Pain Syndrome? It is a chronic pain condition that usually happens after an injury. There is pain, a change in blood flow, sweating and swelling. There can be changes in your skin, bones and other tissues. Sometimes it is hard to move the painful body part. Complex regional pain syndrome usually involves your arms or legs. But it can affect any part of your body. It can be progressive. This means it can get worse at one place or spread to other body parts. It can also stay the same or get better on its own. The injury that leads to complex regional pain syndrome may be very minor. Some patients cannot remember any injury at all. If the condition comes on after injury to your skin, bone, joint or tissue, it is called reflex sympathetic dystrophy or complex regional pain syndrome one. If the injury was to a major nerve, this is called causalgia, or complex regional pain syndrome 2.

Mekhail, MD, PhD THE PHYSICIAN AND SPORTSMEDICINE - VOL 32 - NO. 5 - MAY 2004 In Brief: Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is the new nomenclature that encompasses the older diagnostic entities of reflex sympathetic dystrophy (now CRPS 1) and causalgia (CRPS 2). CRPS arises after injuries such as sprains, strains, or fractures, but in some patients the cause is unknown. Although a perennial suspect in the pathogenesis of this entity, the sympathetic nervous system's role in CRPS remains unclear. New studies provide insight into the contribution of the sympathetic nervous system to CRPS and allow reevaluation of clinical features, diagnostic criteria, testing methods, and treatment modalities. P hysiologists have long recognized that the sympathetic nervous system has a central role in protective and adaptive reflexes and adjustments in response to acute stress and impending pain. These normal protective responses are essential for survival and for coping with environmental challenges. However, only in the mid-20th century has the role of the sympathetic nervous system in generating and maintaining pain states been acknowledged. Despite considerable focused research, the exact mechanisms underlying pain syndromes with sympathetic nervous system involvement are not totally clear.

    Extractions: Printer-Friendly Format FREE Newsletters Email to a Friend ... Next Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) , also called reflex sympathetic dystrophy syndrome , is a chronic pain condition in which high levels of nerve impulses are sent to an affected site. Experts believe that CRPS occurs as a result of dysfunction in the central or peripheral nervous systems. CRPS is most common in people aged 20-35. The syndrome also can occur in children; it affects women more often than men. There is no cure for CRPS. What Causes Complex Regional Pain Syndrome? CRPS most likely does not have a single cause but rather results from multiple causes that produce similar symptoms. Some theories suggest that pain receptors in the affected part of the body become responsive to catecholamines, a group of nervous system messengers. In cases of injury-related CRPS, the syndrome may be caused by a triggering of the immune response which may lead to the inflammatory symptoms of redness, warmth, and swelling in the affected area. For this reason, it is believed that CRPS may represent a disruption of the healing process. What Are the Symptoms of Complex Regional Pain Syndrome?

    Extractions: Since it's first clinical description in 1864 when Doctor Mitchell published a classic description of causalgia in a paper entitled, "Gunshot Wounds a nd Other Injuries of Nerves" , Reflex Sympathetic Dystrohpy ( RSD ) has been called many different names such as Causalgia, Suddeck's Atrophy, Raynauds and most recently - Complex Regional Pain Syndrome. In an attempt to define a taxonomy that more accurately describes conditions that fall under the umbrella term Complex Regional Pain Syndrome the International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP) Committee on Taxonomy recently revised it's previous description and published those clinical features consistently found in these conditions. To satisfy a diagnosis of CRPS type I (RSD) , the clinical findings include regional pain, sensory changes, allodynia, abnormalities of temperature, abnormal sudomotor activity, edema, and an abnormal skin color that occur after a noxious event. CRPS type II (Causalgia) includes all foregoing features in addition to a peripheral nerve lesion.
