Nervous System and Chronic Pain Personal Injury Lawyer

Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), sometimes referred to as"reflex sympathetic dystrophy syndrome" and "causalgia," is a chronic pain condition.  It is believed to be the result of dysfunction in the central or peripheral nervous systems, which can occur following trauma. Complex regional pain syndrome is frequently triggered by tissue injury and often, but not always, involves a nerve injury.  Common features include changes in the colour and temperature of the skin over the affected limb or body part, accompanied by intense burning pain, skin sensitivity, sweating, and swelling.   Often, the symptoms associated with CRPS  get worse over time, rather than bette.   CRPS most often affects one of the extremities (arms, legs, hands, or feet).  The pain and other symptoms from CRPS injury can be severe and debilitating.  

There is no cure for CRPS and, as such,  treatment is often aimed at pain control.  Some of the therapies currently in use for the treatment of CRPS include: physical therapy; psychotherapy; nerve block injections; medications; surgery; spinal cord stimulation; and spinal drug pumps.
