Pathophysiology of CRPS
• Persistent inflammatory activity
• Pathological vasospasm
• fMRI changes – the “CRPS brain”
• Visual distortion and changes in
somatosensory cortex S1
• QST changes
• Small fibre neuropathy

Budapest criteria for CRPS
• Continuing pain disproportionate to the inciting
event
• Symptoms- at least 1 symptom in 4 categories
– Sensory
• hyperaesthesia
– Vasomotor
• temp asymmetry; colour changes and/or skin colour asymmetry
– Sudomotor/oedema
• oedema; sweating changes and/or sweating asymmetry
– Motor/tropic
• decreased ROM; motor dysfunction; hair, nail or skin changes
Harden, Bruehl et al (2010) Pain 150:268-74
Budapest criteria for CRPS
• Signs: evidence of at least 1 sign in 2 or more
categories
– Sensory
• hyperalgesia (pin prick) and/or allodynia (light touch)
– Vasomotor
• temp asymmetry; colour changes and/or skin colour asymmetry
– Sudomotor
• oedema; sweating changes and/or swearing asymmetry
– Motor/tropic
• decreased ROM; motor dysfunction; hair, nail or skin changes
Harden, Bruehl et al (2010) Pain 150:268-74
CRPS presentations
• Epidemiology
– Females : males
5-13:1
– Lower limb : upper limb
– Peak age
5-16:1
12-14 years
• Triggers
– Minor trauma to major surgery
– Immunisation
– None identified

Genetic basis in some families
Family problems 40%
Impact on family members
Economic impact
• 40% CRPS I
• 2/3 not in full-time school
• 68% parents took time off work
• UK: direct and indirect costs ~ £ 8,000/yr
 extrapolates to £ 3,840 million /yr

Treatment options
• Based on biopsychosocial model
– Multidisciplinary approach
• Physiotherapy
• Psychology
– Individual and family therapy
+/- psychiatry
• Medication
– Blocks
• Other novel treatments
What affects Rx choices for children?
• Beliefs concerning causes of pain
• Knowledge and preferences for pain Rx
• Expectations of outcome of pain Rx
• Reduction in pain required for patient to
resume ‘reasonable activities’
• Typical coping response for stress or pain
• Family expectations & beliefs
Physiotherapy key to recovery
• Goal: functional restoration
•
•
•
•
Desensitisation
Hydrotherapy
Land exercises
Mirror box therapy

Role of the Anaesthetist in CRPS
• Interventionist only?
• Clinical team leader
• Requirements:
– Understand pathophysiological aetiologies
– Understand key management principles
– Understand role of medication in managing CRPS
– Understand evidence for regional blockade and
other invasive techniques

Regional blockade
• IV regional blockade
– Guanethidine
– Lignocaine
– Ketorolac
• Catheter techniques
– Major nerve plexus
– Epidural
– Intrathecal

Role of psychologist
• Assessment of child
• Based on CBT, ACT
– Challenge thoughts
• Biobehavioural techniques
– Breathing techniques
– Meditation
– Self-hypnosis
• Facilitate physical therapy
Psychiatrist
• Controversial area
– At risk of anxiety or depression
67%
– At risk of anxiety, depression
and somatisation 47%
• Family therapy
• Medication if necessary
Cruz et al (2011) Clin J Pain 27:27-34
Progressing recovery
Child taking charge of own management
– Willingness to self-manage pain
– Active coping strategies
• Support team
• Return to school
Logan et al (2012) 153:1863-70
Prognosis
• Overall outcomes better in children
– Highly variable recovery time
• Morbidity
• Relapse rates high - 50%-79%
– 10% symptoms persist > 1yr
• Future treatment options
– Immunomodulatory agents
