RESUMO
ABSTRACT: Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), formerly called reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD), is a chronic pain phenomenon associated with an alteration in peripheral and central pain perception in a localized body region. Because of the many risk factors associated with this phenomenon, the true nature of the disease risk and clinical course are a challenge to predict. After the diagnosis is confirmed and treatment is provided promptly, clinicians must consider patient health and function holistically to foster improvement in overall quality of life.
