Pain Patterns
There are two primary types of CRPS, Type I, and Type II. Type I was previously known as reflex sympathetic dystrophy syndrome. This type occurs after an illness or injury, which did not result in direct nerve compromise, whereas Type II occurs secondary to direct nerve compromise or injury. The signs and symptoms of CRPS I and II vary widely in their presentations. The diagnosis is often one established after a thorough exclusion of other causes.
The reason CRPS develops cannot always be determined. It is mediated by the sympathetic nervous system. This is the part of the nervous system, which controls blood flow and regulates the sweat glands. Many cases of CRPS occur after a severe trauma to an extremity. The presence of a spine problem with nerve compromise may contribute to the development of CRPS in a limb that suffers a separate and distinct injury.
