complex regional pain syndrome

Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is a chronic condition characterized by severe and persistent pain that typically affects one limb and can spread throughout the body. It is a malfunction of the nervous system that causes an exaggerated pain response, often accompanied by swelling and changes in skin temperature and color. CRPS can result from various causes, such as trauma or surgery, and can significantly impair a person's quality of life.
