Diagnosis of post-traumatic complex regional pain syndrome of the hand
Location: http://www.josonline.org/pdf/v14i3p284.pdf
Purpose. To evaluate the role of sympathetic skin
response (SSR) and three-phase bone scintigraphy
(TPBS) in the diagnosis of complex regional pain
syndrome (CRPS).
Conclusion. TPBS is a very sensitive corroborative test to confirm the clinical suspicion of CRPS during the initial stages, but not in late cases. SSR can be used to document...

Regulation of peripheral blood flow in Complex Regional Pain Syndrome
Location: http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2474/10/116/abstract
Background
During the chronic stage of Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), impaired microcirculation is related to increased vasoconstriction, tissue hypoxia, and metabolic tissue acidosis in the affected limb. Several mechanisms may be responsible for the ischemia and pain in chronic cold CPRS.
Discussion The diminished blood flow may be caused by either sympathetic...
