- Abstract
Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is a clinical feature which is occurred after harmful stimulus and also characterized by severe pain in affected extremities, edema, change in blood flow of skin, abnormal sudomotor activity and allodynia. Although, etiopathogenesis remains largely unknown; it is believed that trauma plays a role in etiopathogenesis. It is usually diagnosed with clinical features. However; radiologic examinations and scintigraphy are used to confirm the diagnose. We aimed to present a case with diagnosed CRPS in ankle, knee and hip joint by scintigraphy; whom had no symptoms except for pain and allodynia, that are observed after gunshot injury of sole. With steroids, pregabalin, tramadol and topical capsaicin as medical treatments; with contrast bath, whirlpool bath, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, in-water ultrasound, desensitization and range of motion exercises as physical therapy agents, decreased pain, increased range of motion and increased muscle strength were detected. CRPS should be considered in the diagnosis severe pain after trauma and allodynia even in the absence of sudomotor and vasomotor changes.
