Complex regional pain syndrome type I, formerly known as reflex sympathetic dystrophy and complex regional pain syndrome type II, formetly formerly known as causalgia, are debilitating pain syndroms that have recognized for more than a century. Complex regional pain syndroms remains a poorly understood chronic pain condition with regards to patho-physiology and treatment. According to the International Association for the study of Pain criteria, the characteristic frature required to establish the diagnosis of complex regional pain syndrome type I are as follows: (1) the presence of an initiating noxious event or a cause of immobilization; (2) continuing pain, allodynia; (3) evidence at some time of edema, change in blood flow; and (4) the exclusion of medical conditions thath would account for the degree of pain and dysfuntion. Therapies for complex regional pain syndrome type I are guided by the recogntion of the complex interaction between approach. In general, there is an incremental incorporation of therapeutic measures that combine aspects of physio-therapeutic, pharmace-therapeutic measures chotherapeutic modalites. But the patho-physiologic mechanisms of complex aging the signs and stmptoms of the disease. Nevertheless, no specific personality development of complex regional pain syndrome. Therefore we have to study the new research criteria to refine many smples in clinical reseach to establish efficacy of treatment.
