Abstract

Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) is a chronic pain condition that often develops following trauma or surgery. It is classified into Type 1, without identifiable nerve damage, and Type 2, associated with a defined nerve injury. (DosSantos et al., 2017) Characterized by severe, disproportionate pain, CRPS frequently involves sensory, autonomic, and motor dysfunctions, such as allodynia, hyperalgesia, skin temperature and colour changes, swelling, and dystrophic alterations in hair and nails. If untreated, it can lead to muscle atrophy, joint stiffness, and significant functional impairment. (Bartl, 2022)(Scholz et al., 2019)
