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 clinical features are similar for both subtypes and the distinguishing feature is the presence of a major peripheral nerve injury in patients with type 2. The incidence of CRPS/RSD type 1 is high in patients with stroke, spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis and many other neurological disorders. The occurrence of CRPS/RSD is related to the intensity of the motor deficit, the spasticity and the sensory deficits in these patients.
