Imaging and clinical evidence of sensorimotor problems in CRPS: Utilizing novel treatment approaches (2013)
Journal Article

Inflammation and altered autonomic function are diagnostic signs and symptoms of Complex Regional Pain Syndrome. In the acute stages these are commonly at their most florid accompanied by severe pain and reduced function. Understandably this has dire...
