Background. In 1994, a consensus group of pain medicine experts gathered by the International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP) agreed on diagnostic criteria for reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD) and causalgia, and renamed them complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) types I and II, respectively.
The cause of CRPS/RSD is unknown, and most treatments for the symptoms experienced by CRPS/RSD patients are not optimal. Current theories of the potential mechanisms of CRPS/RSD are based on the notion that a pathologic sympathetically maintained reflex arc is involved in the generation and maintenance of pain.
