The evolution and progression of complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS): recent insights into the nociceptive role of cytokines and management of CRPS with anticytokine therapy.

摘要

I read with great interest the recent article by Rand about complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) in a recent issue of Current Sports Medicine Reports (6). Recent studies into the etiology and evolution of CRPS have reported a number of interesting results. One such aspect has been the evolving role of chemical mediators such as cytokines in the evolution and progression of CRPS.
