Complex Regional Pain











A00021F01

Complex regional pain syndrome can occur after an injury, sometimes even very minor ones.  CRPS can sometimes also occur after a surgery.  The hand, wrist, and upper extremity can sometimes have a very typical appearance.  It is important to appropriately diagnose the problem and get appropriate treatment.

One of the treatment options for complex regional pain syndrome is performing what is called a stellate ganglion block.  This can sometimes be helpful to diagnose and treat the problem.
