Definition/Description[edit | edit source]

The international association for the study of pain defines CRPS as a collection of locally occurring painful conditions, usually following traumatic injury, which tends to express itself distally and exceeds the expected pain of the original trauma and usually results in significant motor deficit. [1]

CRPS is subdivided into type I and type II CRPS.
Type I CRPS signifies that no peripheral nerve injury can be linked to the condition, while type II signifies that the condition results from a peripheral nerve injury. [2]
