This condition's underlying mechanism is unclear, but may be triggered by trauma. This illness has the following signs and symptoms: sensory abnormalities (burning pain and allodynia), trophic changes, impairment of motor function, and emotional/psychological responses. This statement best describes which illness?
Understand the Problem
The question describes a condition with symptoms like sensory abnormalities, trophic changes, motor impairment, and emotional/psychological responses, potentially triggered by trauma, and asks to identify the illness being described.

More Information
Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) is a chronic pain condition often triggered by trauma. Key features include sensory abnormalities like burning pain and allodynia (pain from stimuli that aren't usually painful), trophic changes (changes in skin, hair, or nails), motor impairment, and psychological distress.
Tips
A common mistake is confusing CRPS with other pain syndromes. Focus on the specific combination of sensory, motor, trophic, and psychological symptoms, along with a history of trauma, to identify CRPS.
