AbstractComplex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) may develop following fractures, limb trauma, or lesions of the peripheral or central nervous system. The clinical picture consists of a triad of symptoms including autonomic, sensory, and motor dysfunction. Diagnosis is based on clinical signs and symptoms according to the Budapest criteria. Therapy is based on an individual and multidisciplinary approach. Distinct methods of physical therapy and pharmacological strategies are the mainstay of therapy. Pharmacotherapy is based on individual symptoms and includes steroids, free radical scavengers, treatment of neuropathic pain, and agents interfering with bone metabolism. In some cases invasive methods may be considered.
