Zusammenfassung

Complex Regional Pain Syndromes (CRPS) are characterized by a typical constellation of symptoms: autonomic and inflammatory changes, motor symptoms and sensory disturbances. There is accumulating evidence that the pathophysiology of CRPS may involve changes within the central nervous system (CNS). In this talk functional imaging studies will be presented assessing possible cortical reorganization within the primary somatosensory cortex (S1) in CRPS patients. The distance between the cortical representation of the hand and the lip was found to be markedly decreased on the affected CRPS side compared to the unaffe…
