Abstract
The nomenclature, pathophysiology, and treatment modalities of complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) are controversial. Thus far there are no specific, scientifically valid treatments for the management of CRPS. The numerous modalities of treatment range from sympathetic ganglion blocks, intravenous regional blocks, administration of a multitude of pharmacologic agents and behavioral interventions, to surgical sympathectomy. Minimally invasive radiofrequency lesioning for managing CRPS is a modality in its developmental stages. This article describes radiofrequency lesioning techniques in managing CRPS.Entities:
