Published: August 2024

Complex Regional Pain Syndrome is characterized by regional pain that is disproportionate to the triggering event, with no distribution to dermatomes, a tendency towards chronicity, and dysfunction. This narrative review proposes an update of criteria for diagnosis and management of the syndrome, providing information on epidemiology, etiology, and pathophysiology. We base our information on systematic and narrative reviews, as well as guidelines published in recent years, aiming to facilitate diagnostic suspicion and provide a broad overview of therapeutic possibilities.
