Abstract
CUENCA GONZALEZ, Concepción et al. The Complex Regional Pain Synndrome. Rev Clin Med Fam [online]. 2012, vol.5, n.2, pp.120-129. ISSN 2386-8201. https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/S1699-695X2012000200007.
Complex regional pain syndrome is a chronic, complex illness whose early diagnosis is essential for favourable progress and in order to avoid complications. This entity usually goes unnoticed, with diagnosis taking place mainly through medical examination of the patient, and thus resulting easy to identify if its symptoms and signs are known. Drug treatment can be commenced at primary health care with subsequent referral to a rehabilitator for the prescription of physiotherapeutic treatment and monitoring.
