What is CRPS
Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) is a progressive, chronic disease that can often be quite stressful and even debilitating. It is essential to understand the complications that arise due to this disease in order to be able to cope with it in the best possible ways. It is believed that CRPS is caused due to the malfunctioning of the peripheral and central nervous systems. There are two categories of CRPS namely CRPS I and CRPS II. The first type is often triggered due to a tissue injury and does not have any apparent nerve injury. In the case of patients suffering from CRPS II there is a clear indication of the disease being associated with some nerve injury. Other terms that have been used to describe CRPS are ‘Causalgia’ and Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy Syndrome’. The word ‘Causalgia’ came into being around the time of the American Civil War to describe a condition when war veterans experienced intense pain even after their wounds had healed. Both men and women, and sometimes even children, can be affected by CRPS. However, it has been noted that it is much more frequent among women rather than men.
