RESUMEN
Introducción
El síndrome doloroso regional complejo (SDRC) es una entidad que se presenta después de una lesión. Sus principales características son dolor, cambios en la coloración y temperatura de la piel, edema y cambios tróficos.
ObjetivoPresentar una revisión actualizada de la literatura para mejorar la comprensión de este síndrome.
MetodologíaSe seleccionaron 48 artículos de revistas indexadas y 4 capítulos de libros sobre medicina del dolor.
ConclusiónEl SDRC suele ser de difícil manejo, y de no ser tratado adecuadamente, la funcionalidad de la extremidad afectada puede verse comprometida. El diagnóstico temprano y el manejo oportuno reducen la severidad y duración de esta entidad.

SUMMARY
Introduction
Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) is a chronic disabling disorder that occurs after an injury. Pain, changes in the color and temperature of the skin, edema and trophic changes are the main characteristics of this syndrome.
ObjectiveTo provide a current literature overview of the CRPS to improve its understanding.
MethodologyAn extensive literature search both in indexed journals and pain medicine books was performed. Forty eight articles and 4 book chapters about pain medicine were included.
ConclusionCRPS is difficult to manage and if it is not treated adequately, functionality of the affected limb can be compromised. Early diagnosis and treatment may reduce the severity and duration of this condition.
