Abstract:
Chronic pain disorders are common and have a substantial impact on the patients' daily life. The specific syndrome of complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS, Sudeck's disease) is comparatively rare and characterized by additional sensorimotor, vascular and trophic dysfunctions. The diagnosis is made based on the Budapest criteria and according to clinical symptoms. According to the German national guidelines, multimodal therapy includes drug, rehabilitative and psychosomatic approaches for the reduction of pain and restoration of functionality. Bisphosphonates, steroids and antiepileptic drugs are well-established as medicinal treatment but should always be used in combination with functional therapy. Interventional treatment options are reserved for patients with complicated and enduring symptoms and should be carried out in specialized centers. The course of the disease is highly individual and frequently requires a long-term interdisciplinary treatment.
