Objective: To investigate clinical differences in warm and cold complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) phenotypes. Background: CRPS represents inhomogeneous chronic pain conditions; approximately 70% patients with CRPS have “warm” affected limbs and 30% have “cold” affected limbs. Methods: We examined 50 patients with “cold” and “warm” CRPS (n = 25 in each group). Both groups were matched regarding age, sex, affected limb, duration of CRPS, and CRPS I and II to assure comparability. Detailed…

The pattern of clinical features suggests that inflammatory mechanisms contribute most prominently to the Warm CRPS subtype but that these mechanisms diminish substantially during the first year postinjury.
Cold allodynia is correlated to paroxysmal and evoked mechanical pain in complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS)

It is suggested that cold allodynia is based on hyper-excitability of very superficial skin nociceptors, which suggests that activity in those peripheral nocICEptors can drive both, paroxysmal pain and spinal sensitization leading to stroke evokedAllodynia.

It is suggested that primarily warm or cold CRPS only exist in a minority of patients (30% instead of 75%) and small subgroups can be identified using any diagnostic tool from the criteria of Bruehl/IASP.

If these recommendations are followed, CRPS prognosis is not as poor as commonly assumed, and whether the patients can return to their previous life depends on particular individual factors.

The pathophysiological mechanisms underlying CRPS involve both inflammatory and neurological pathways and vagal nerve stimulation might have the potential for treating CRPS through the cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway.

It is concluded that chronic CRPS is characterized by a combination of ongoing pain, pain-related disability, stress and depression, potentially triggered by peripheral nerve/tissue damage and ensuing sensory loss.

It is proved that vasomotor and sudomotor control are substantially altered in CRPS and in the acute stage vasom motor control is decreased in the affected limb whereas sudom motor function is enhanced.
