525 top medical experts on Complex Regional Pain Syndromes across 35 countries and 36 U.S. states, including 428 MDs (Physicians). This is based on an objective analysis of their Scientific Publications, Clinical Trials, Medicare, and NIH Grants.

  1. Complex Regional Pain Syndromes: Conditions characterized by pain involving an extremity or other body region, hyperesthesia, and localized autonomic dysfunction following injury to soft tissue or nerve. The pain is usually associated with erythema; skin temperature changes, abnormal sudomotor activity (i.e., changes in sweating due to altered sympathetic innervation) or edema. The degree of pain and other manifestations is out of proportion to that expected from the inciting event. Two subtypes of this condition have been described: type I; (reflex sympathetic dystrophy) and type II; (causalgia). (From Pain 1995 Oct;63(1):127-33)
  2. Clinical guidelines are the recommended starting point to understand initial steps and current protocols in any disease or procedure:
  3. Broader Categories (#Experts): Peripheral Nervous System Diseases (3,813), Autonomic Nervous System Diseases (1,876) and Narrower Categories: Causalgia (221), Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (1,045).
  4. Clinical Trials ClinicalTrials.gov : at least 129 including 4 Active, 54 Completed, 26 Recruiting
  5. Synonyms: Complex Regional Pain Syndrome,  Regional Complex Pain Syndromes
