Reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD) may stem from inflammation, not just the sympathetic nervous system. Our research supports Paul Sudeck's early theory on exaggerated inflammatory responses.
Area of Science:
- Pain management
- Inflammation research
- Neurology
Background:
- Reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD) is a post-traumatic extremity syndrome with unclear pathogenesis.
- Current consensus leans towards a hyperactive sympathetic system initiating RSD.
- Paul Sudeck proposed an exaggerated inflammatory response theory in 1942, which gained little traction.
