This quick reference sheet on Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) was developed by Krista Baerg, Allen Finely, and Susan Tupper, through the Chronic Pain Network (CPN), to support clinicians and care providers in recognizing and understanding this condition.
CRPS is a clinical diagnosis characterized by persistent, disproportionate pain, often following a minor injury, and accompanied by sensory, autonomic, and functional changes. Early recognition is important but can sometimes be difficult to determine.
This resource provides a concise overview of key signs, symptoms, and considerations to support assessment and care in practice.
