	Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy Syndrome
		Reflex sympathetic dystrophy syndrome (RSDS) is a chronic condition characterized by severe burning pain, pathological changes in bone and skin, excessive sweating, tissue swelling, and extreme sensitivity to touch.
		The syndrome, which is a variant of a condition known as causalgia, is a nerve disorder that occurs at the site of an injury (most often to the arms or legs).
		The syndrome is thought to be the result of damaged nerves of the sympathetic nervous system -- the part of the nervous system responsible for controlling the diameter of blood vessels.

	Reflex sympathetic dystrophy syndrome - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Reflex sympathetic dystrophy syndrome (RSDS) — also known as complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS)— is a chronic condition characterized by severe burning pain, pathological changes in bone and skin, excessive sweating, tissue swelling, and extreme sensitivity to touch.
		The syndrome, which is a variant of a condition known as causalgia, is a nerve disorder that occurs at the site of an injury (most often to the arms or legs).
		Over the years, the syndrome was classified as one of the peripheral neuropathies, and later, as a chronic pain syndrome.

	Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD) Syndrome - New York State Department of Health
		RSD is an older term used to describe one form of Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS).
		Both RSD and CRPS are nerve disorders characterized by chronic severe burning pain, pathological changes in bone and skin, excessive sweating, tissue swelling and extreme sensitivity to touch.
		Initially, the condition was thought to be a malfunctioning of the sympathetic nervous system but researchers are questioning this theory.

	Neurology Journal Club Aricle #1
		Reflex sympathetic dystrophies are clinically much more important than causalgia because they are frequent causes of pain and disability, especially in orthopedic and industrial practices, and also because prompt recognition and effective treatment result in rapid remission of symptoms and complete recovery.
		Reflex sympathetic dystrophy can be produced by: accidental injury, surgical or other iatrogenic injury, and micro- or macrotrauma associated with certain occupations; it is also associated with certain diseases such as myocardial infarction and necrologic disorders.
		Reflex sympathetic dystrophy has also been reported to develop in a very small number of patients with diabetic neuropathy (57), herniated disk disease (90), degenerative joint diseases of the cervical spine, and such neurologic disorders as cerebrovascular accident, tumors of the neuraxis, poliomyelitis, multiple sclerosis, traumatic lesion of the brain stem, and related conditions (91).

	Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy Syndrome Association Of America
		Reflex sympathetic dystrophy syndrome is a disease that is poorly understood by patients, their families and health care professionals.
		The terms complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) type I and type II have been used since 1995, when the International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP) felt the respective names reflex sympathetic dystrophy and causalgia were inadequate to represent the full spectrum of signs and symptoms.
		If the block causes numbness or weakness, more than just the sympathetic nerves were blocked and the patient will get an overestimation of the amount of their pain that is contributed by their sympathetic nervous system; hence, the diagnostic and prognostic value of the nerve block would be lost.

	Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy \| Caremark Health Resources
		Reflex sympathetic dystrophy is the feeling of pain associated with evidence of minor nerve injury.
		Historically, reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD) was noticed during the civil war in patients who suffered pain following gunshot wounds that affected the median nerve (a major nerve in the arm).
		There are several theories such as sympathetic overflow (over activity), abnormal circuitry in nerve impulses through the sympathetic system, and as a post-operative complication for both elective and traumatic surgical procedures.

		Reflex sympathetic dystrophy syndrome is a condition involving an initial injury (usually) to an extremity (usually), which results in a disproportionate amount of pain, disability, and trophic (growth-related) changes to the damaged tissue.
		Chronic progressive pain syndromes have many labels, and RSDS just happens to be the one that is most popular at this moment in time.

		Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy is a chronic pain disorder involving the sympathetic nervous system.

	What is Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy? - DrDonnica.com - The First Name in Women's Health
		Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy Syndrome or RSD (also known as Complex Regional Pain Syndrome) is a neurological syndrome characterized by disabling pain, usually following some sort of neurological or bone injury (particularly fractures).
		While the clinical syndrome of RSD is distinct, there is no specific laboratory test to diagnose RSD/CRPS.
		While there is no one particular gold standard of therapy, the good news is that there are many treatment options including various medications, sympathetic nerve blocks, physical therapy, psychological support, and possibly sympathectomy, or dorsal column stimulator.
