Utah Physical Medicine for Your Complex Regional Pain

Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), also called reflex sympathetic dystrophy syndrome, is a chronic pain condition in which high levels of nerve impulses are sent to an affected site.

 

Experts believe that CRPS occurs as a result of dysfunction in the central or peripheral nervous systems.

​

CRPS is most common in people ages 20-35. The syndrome also can occur in children.

​

The symptoms of CRPS vary in their severity and length. One symptom of CRPS is continuous, intense pain that gets worse rather than better over time. If CRPS occurs after an injury, it may seem out of proportion to the severity of the injury. Even in cases involving an injury only to a finger or toe, pain can spread to include the entire arm or leg. In some cases, pain can even travel to the opposite extremity.

​
