Hi! What is the difference between Complex Regional Pain Syndrome and regular pain? I am aware of the various symptoms. However, from a cellular standpoint, what is the difference? Any specific receptors/proteins involved? The muscarinic receptors? Thank you!!
Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is a chronic (lasting greater than six months) pain condition that most often affects one limb (arm, leg, hand, or foot) usually after an injury. CRPS is believed to be caused by damage to, or malfunction of, the peripheral and central nervous systems
Chronic pain is also defined when the pain is severe or persistent after a tissue injury is restored. Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is a chronic pain disorder in which severe pain occurs at a specific site after trauma.
