Complex Regional Pain Syndrome overview
Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) is a chronic pain condition often following injury or immobilisation, marked by pain disproportionate to the inciting event.
Management emphasises education, graded exposure, desensitisation, and when needed medication and interventional pain approaches.
Early recognition and coordinated care improve outcomes and limit disability.
