Article Synopsis
- Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) is a painful condition often developing after limb injuries and is associated with both central nervous system dysfunction and heightened sensitivity to pain (hyperalgesia).
- Research using a female rat model showed that both immobilization of limbs and chronic alcohol consumption increase pain behaviors and changes in brain glutamate receptors, indicating a deeper connection between CRPS and alcoholic neuropathy.
- The study highlights potential new treatment targets for managing symptoms of CRPS and alcoholic neuropathy, particularly since females seem to experience these conditions more acutely.
