Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy
Background
Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy: Complex Regional Pain syndrome
Reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD) is a chronic pain condition that is often localised to one area of the body. Somewhat confusingly it is also known as complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) and, more generally, as localised pain syndrome (LIPs).
Pain sensitivity varies substantially among humans. A significant part of the human population develops chronic pain conditions that are characterized by heightened pain sensitivity.
