    Area of Science:

    • Psychiatry
    • Psychology
    • Neurology

    Background:

    • Neuro-algodystrophy, also known as complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), is a poorly understood condition.
    • Existing psychological literature on neuro-algodystrophy is limited.
    • This study explores the psychiatric dimensions of neuro-algodystrophy.

    Observation:

    • A retrospective study examined 32 patients with neuro-algodystrophy referred for psychiatric consultation.
    • A significant psychological trigger was identified in nearly all cases.
    • Affective loss was a prominent factor in over 60% of the patients studied.

    Findings:

    • A strong temporal relationship exists between psychological factors and the onset or exacerbation of neuro-algodystrophy.
    • Emotional distress, particularly loss, appears to play a significant role in the syndrome's manifestation.
