complex regional pain syndrome
- complex regional pain syndrome
- (CRPS) a chronic pain syndrome of uncertain pathogenesis, usually affecting an extremity, and characterized by intense burning pain, changes in skin color and texture, increased skin temperature and sensitivity, sweating, and edema. Type 1 (called also reflex sympathetic dystrophy) often follows tissue injury, but without demonstrable nerve injury, and may be accompanied by posttraumatic osteoporosis; when limited to the upper extremity it is called shoulder-hand syndrome. Type 2 (called also causalgia) is associated with injury to the peripheral nerves.
