Description

According to the McGill Pain Scale, Complex Regional Pain Syndrome is one of the most painful chronic diseases of modern medicine. Despite its severity, it is poorly understood, rarely diagnosed, and treatment algorithms vary from provider to provider. During this session, we will discuss the most common theories on the pathophysiology of this disease. We will summarize and review the past and current evidence behind commonly used treatment options including physical therapy modalities, adjuvant medications, opioids, sympathetic nerve injections, and neuromodulation. Lastly, there will be a discussion of specific cases including both successful treatments and unfortunate failures.

Learning Objectives

  1. Examine the pathophysiology behind Complex Regional Pain Syndrome
  2. Discuss common exam findings and diagnostic tests consistent with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome
  3. Analyze the evidence behind commonly used treatments for Complex Regional Pain Syndrome
  4. Formulate a protocol including all evidence-based treatments and examine its successes and failures in clinical practice
