Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is a chronic pain condition that affects the extremities, believed to be caused by damage to, or malfunction of, the peripheral and central nervous systems. And while CRPS is its own unique disease entity, its potential pathophysiological mechanisms have ...
Complex regional pain syndrome is an uncommon form of chronic pain that usually affects an arm or leg. Complex regional pain syndrome typically develops after an injury, surgery, stroke or heart attack, but the pain is out of proportion to the severity of the initial injury, if any. The cau...

This paper seeks to consider the validity and utility of two related terms in spinal and other injuries: complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) and chronic pain syndrome (CPS). It is argued that the words chronic regional pain syndrome convey neither understanding of the condition nor of its mec...
