To hovedtyper
CRPS type I:erstatter begrepet refleksdystrofi (RSD- reflexsympathetic dystrophy)
CRPS type II: har en påvist nerveskade, men øvrige symptomer er like og behandlingen ens. Erstatter begrepet causalgia
Diagnostisering
4
• Vedvarende smerte som er uforholdsmessig sterk eller langvarig i forhold til traumet.
Budapest CRPS Criteria
Årsaker:• Alle former for kirurgi i
ekstremitetene kan for-årsake CRPS.
• Hjerneslag
• Ryggoperasjoner (prolaps, avstivning o.a)
• Mindre operasjoner synes mer risikabelt enn større.
• Spontan start. Oftest barn.
NB: Ny kirurgi kan forverre tilstanden.
Problem: blanding av smertekvaliteter

Bedre CRPS diagnostisering?
• Forlanger nærvær av objektive tegn i tilegg til selvrapporterte symptomer.
• Inkluderer motor/trofiske forandringer
• Beskriver vasomotoriske tegn og ødem/sudomotoriske tegn som to separate diagnosekriterier.

Our results indicate that although patients with CRPS1 are stigmatized with a specific psychological profile, psychological problems are not likely to contribute to the prediction of the development of CRPS1.
No empirical evidence supports a diagnosis of CRPS1 patients as psychologically different, and the current results indicate that there is no association between psychological factors and CRPS1.
Few psychological differences between CRPS and other
chronic pain patients
• Forekomst av angst og depresjon hos CRPS pasienter 24-65%
• Langvarige CRPS pasienter scorer lavere på ”health related quality of life” tester sammenlignet med andre kroniske lidelser
• Scorer høyt på somatisering, katastrofetanker og bevegelsefrykt.

Psychotherapy. Not every CRPS patient needs an
extensive psychological assessment. However, when
there are existing psychological factors or insufficient
improvement under somatic-oriented therapy, psychotherapeutic
approaches should be initiated early.

Epidemiologi
Epidemiologi
Insidensen av CRPS blant befolkningen:
• 5.5 new CRPS-I cases per 100,000 annually (Sandroni et al., 2003)
• 26.2 new CRPS cases per 100,000 annually (de Mos et al., 2007)
Kvinner 2 ganger vanligere en men.
Acute CRPS
Remissionsraten kan være høy
74% - 87% av CRPS blir bra i løpet av et år.
Puchalski & Zyluk, 2005; Herlyn et al., 2010
22
Langvarig CRPS
• Blant CRPS pasienter med >1 års varighet,
6 års follow-up indikerer:
• 30% “selvrestitusjon” (selvrapportert)
• 54% “stabil”
• 16% “progressiv forverring”
De Mos et al., 2009
• 48% of sample of 185 CRPS patients displayed
spreading of CRPS to second limb or more
• 49% Contralateral Spread
• 30% Ipsilateral Spread
• 14% Diagonal Spread
• Spread triggered by additional trauma in 37-91%
24
Prognose
• Høy smerte i forbindelse med kirurgi øker risikoen for CRPS
• Angst og frykt kan hindre progresjon i rehabiliteringen ved CRPS
(Birklein 2015)
25
Patofysiologi
• Mulig genetisk disposisjon usikkert
• Posttraumatisk inflammasjon, i akutt fase
• Plastiske forandringer i SNS, i kronisk fase
• Sympatiske nervesystemets rolle usikker

•Authors’ conclusions
The best available data show that GMI and mirror therapy may provide clinically meaningful improvements in pain and function in people with CRPS I although the quality of the supporting evidence is very low. Evidence of the effectiveness of multimodal physiotherapy, electrotherapy and manual lymphatic drainage for treating people with CRPS types I and II is generally absent or unclear. Large scale, high quality RCTs are required to test the effectiveness of physiotherapy-based interventions for treating pain and disability of people with CRPS I and II. Implications for clinical practice and future research are considered.

• Systematiske oversikter - 6 Cochrane og 13 andre.
• Effekt på smerte og/eller funksjon
• Intravenøs Ketamine, daglig, kan gi effektiv smertelindring men ofte uakseptable bivirkninger
- Lav grad av evidens
• Bisphosphonater, Calcitonin og Graded Motor Imagery(GMI) kan ha effekt på CRPS og at annen speilbehandling kan ha effekt på CRPS etter hjerneslag
-Lav kvalitet på evidens
• Lav kvalitet på evidens for at fysio- eller ergoterapi ikke har klinisk nyttig effekt ved ett års oppfølging og at sympatiske nerveblokader med lokal anestesi ikke har effekt.
• Moderat kvalitet på evidens for at intravenøse regionale blokader (guanethidine) ikke har effekt og at det kan medføre komplikasjoner.

MAIN RESULTS:
We included an additional 10 studies (combined n = 363) in this update. Overall we include 12 studies (combined n = 386). All included studies were assessed to be at high or unclear risk of bias. Three small studies compared LASB to placebo/sham. We were able to pool the results from two of these trials (intervention n = 23). Pooling did not demonstrate significant short-term benefit for LASB (in terms of the risk of a 50% reduction of pain scores).Of two studies that investigated LASB as an addition to rehabilitation treatment, the only study that reported pain outcomes demonstrated no additional benefit from LASB. Eight small randomised studies compared sympathetic blockade to another active intervention. Most studies found no difference in pain outcomes between sympathetic block and other active treatments. Only five studies reported adverse effects, all with minor effects reported.
AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS:
This update has found similar results to the original systematic review. There remains a scarcity of published evidence to support the use of local anaesthetic sympathetic blockade for CRPS. From the existing evidence it is not possible to draw firm conclusions regarding the efficacy or safety of this intervention but the limited data available do not suggest that LASB is effective for reducing pain in CRPS.

Immobilisering
Friske forsøkspersoner: 28 dagers immobilisering i gips gav signifikant økning av:
• Leddsmerte ved bevegelse
• Kuldehyperalgesi
• Asymetrisk hudtemperatur
• Redusert lokal smerteterskel
Alle symptomer foruten smerte hadde gått tilbake 28 dager etter at gipset var fjernet.

4 ukers immobilisering av uskadet håndledd
hos 21 frivillige
• Alle 21 hadde temperatur-forskjell sml. med ikke-mobilisert håndledd (0,5-2,7°). Hos tre varte forskjellen mer enn 2 uker
• Øket generell leddstivhet: 18 (Tommel spesielt: 14)
• Neglectlignende tilstand: 14
• Endret følsomhet ved sensorisk testing: 12
• Smerter: 12 (hvorav 2 med brennende smerter)
• Unormal svetting: 6
• Trofiske forandringer: 7 (hud, negl og/eller hår)

• Pain is typically the leading symptom of CRPS and is often associated with limb dysfunction and psychological distress. For those in whom pain persists, psychological symptoms (anxiety, depression), and loss of sleep are likely to develop, even if they are not prominent at the outset.
Interdisciplinary treatment approach is recommended, tailored to the individual patient. The primary aims are to reduce pain, preserve or restore function, and enable patients to manage their condition and improve their quality of life.

Pain exposure physical therapy may be
a safe and effective treatment for
longstanding complex regional pain
syndrome type 1: a case series
After 3 months of observation, an improvement in function and in pain was found in the majority of
patientsJan-Willem Ek mfl. Clinical Rehabilitation 2009;23:1059-66
“Emphasis is placed on positive developments. In chronic CRPS, the worry of causing damage through movement is a predictor for functional derogation, more so than pain itself.”. (Birklein 2015)
Safety of ‘‘pain exposure’’ physical
therapy in patients with complex
regional pain syndrome type 1
Only if patients understand the reasoning and long-term
goals will they be motivated; otherwise they will give up.

If the treating physician
bears in mind that patients should understand
the reasoning underlying the prescribed therapy,
actively motivates the patient to use the painful limb,
and avoids unjustified interventions, then the chance
of successful treatment is reasonable.
