Resumen
ARDILA DE CHAVES, Amparo y TOLOSA GUZMAN, Ingrid. The Physical Therapy in the Rehabilitation of a Patient with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome. Rev. Cienc. Salud [online]. 2006, vol.4, suppl.1, pp.87-97. ISSN 1692-7273.
Due to its multiple causes and non-specific symptoms, the complex regional pain syndrome is one of the clinical situations that generates greater difficulty in the physical therapy treatment. It is defined as a vasomotor dysfunction, mediated by the sympathetic nervous system with a pain that grows and lingers over time and which does not tolerate the different modalities and techniques used by physical therapists. For a long time, physical therapists have had a prominent role in the management of a patient's pain, without the cause or consequence of the same one, reason for which this revision wanted to integrate therapeutic actions such as the stress loading program, the desensitization and relaxation techniques, that have given excellent results, to the traditional (physical agents, ultrasound, sedative massage and different types of current), to Traumatic or visceral, that compromises the sympathetic nervous system reflexes.
