CRPS (Complex Regional Pain Syndrome)

Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) is a chronic condition that typically develops after an injury or trauma, involving persistent and severe pain that is out of proportion to the initial event. It often affects a limb and is associated with changes in skin color, temperature, swelling, and abnormal sensory and motor functions. The exact cause isn’t fully understood but is believed to involve abnormal responses of the nervous and immune systems, leading to ongoing pain and dysfunction. CRPS can significantly impact daily life, but early diagnosis and multidisciplinary treatment can help manage symptoms and improve quality of life.
