title: The rehabilitation of causalgia (complex regional pain syndrome-type II).
abstract: CRPS-type I or causalgia is a challenging pain syndrome and its pathogenesis remains controversial. Although its incidence is relatively low, the pain and suffering it causes can be severe and functionally debilitating. Early, accurate diagnosis permits initiation of appropriate therapeutic interventions and enhances the potential for successful treatment.
