CRPS: Current Diagnosis And Therapy

by Peter R. Wilson, Michael Stanton-Hicks, R. Norman Harden

Wilson (pain medicine and anesthesiology, Mayo Clinic College of Medicine) presents the latest work on complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS). An overview of the taxonomy of syndromes and diseases lays the foundation for scientific and epidemiological facts that have recently come to light. The rest of the book provides background data on changes in taxonomy, addresses the management of CRPS, and reviews the latest research. A few b&w surgical photos are included. The book represents the results of changes brought about by the diagnostic reclassification and redefinition of CRPS based on clinical and basic research, and will be of interest to clinicians, pain specialists, and others in health care.
