“…The condition may spread centrally from the stump to involve the phantom limb. Hyperalgesia and allodynia may be referred to the phantom limb upon stimulation of the stump, whether or not the stump is painful or shows signs of trophic or vascular changes (60). The characteristic qualities of superficial burning pain and deep aching pain may be additional evidence of the involvement of the sympathetic nervous system (60).…”

“…The resulting peripheral vasoconstriction was supposed to induce tissue hypoxia, as the major nociceptive stimulus. In contrast, Doupe et al [ 4 ] postulated a pathologic generation of synapses between nociceptive afferents and sympathetic efferents. Impressed by therapeutic effi cacy of sympathetic blocks, Evans [ 5 ] created another name in 1946 ("sympathetic refl ex dystrophy"), which was also eventually dropped.…”

Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is still a puzzling disease. Although pathophysiologic understanding has improved, not every aspect of this challenging neuropathic pain syndrome has been explored. Typical symptoms of CRPS are sensory, motor, and autonomic dysfunctions. In most cases, CRPS occurs after a fracture, limb trauma, or lesion of the peripheral or central nervous system. Sometimes, symptoms develop without any trauma. Recent pathophysiologic concepts basically consider three major mechanisms: enhanced peripheral neurogenic inflammation, dysfunction of the sympathetic nervous system, and structural reorganization in the central nervous system. Moreover, a genetic predisposition may explain increased vulnerability. Treatment usually requires a multidisciplinary approach, including medical and nonmedical therapies. The common therapeutic aim is to maintain or restore normal function of the affected extremity. Beyond highlighting pathophysiologic concepts, this article describes recent therapeutic approaches.
