CRPS is a challenging and frequently misunderstood condition characterized by disproportionate regional pain accompanied by sensory, autonomic, and motor disturbances. Despite its severity, it is often underrecognized or diagnosed late, in part because objective findings may not fully reflect the magnitude of a patient’s symptoms. As a result, many individuals experience prolonged suffering, functional decline, and significant psychological and social consequences.
Advances in pain science have improved our understanding of the complex neurobiological and inflammatory mechanisms underlying CRPS, but effective management still requires early recognition, multidisciplinary care, and a compassionate, patient-centered approach.
This book was written to bridge the gap between science and clinical practice. It aims to provide patients, trainees, and healthcare professionals with a clear, evidence-based guide to the diagnosis, pathophysiology, and comprehensive management of CRPS. By combining foundational knowledge with practical strategies, we hope to improve awareness, promote timely treatment, and ultimately lessen the burden of this condition.
It is our hope that this text serves as both a reliable reference and a source of support for those affected by CRPS, contributing to better care and improved quality of life worldwide.
