ABSTRACT (full text pdf. below)

Editorial: I have a dream… reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD or Complex Regional Pain Syndrome – CRPS1) does not exist

Note The Editorial of a Journal is an opportunity for broader thinking even speculation, which will hopefully stimulate debate. Paco Piñal, one of our Editors, has written a personal view of CRPS, which is this month’s Editorial for the Journal to coincide with three very interesting papers on CRPS from renowned experts. Paco’s view is not the view of the Journal, where we accept the present classification of CRPS I and II. Nonetheless his point that CRPS I is over diagnosed without adequate search for other causes is recognised by many clinicians. His views will stimulate thought and I hope comment.
