Abstract excerpt

Complex regional pain syndrome type 1 (CRPS-1) is a chronic pain disorder that in some patients is associated with fixed dystonia. The pathogenesis of CRPS and its relation to dystonia remain poorly understood. Several genes (so-called DYT genes) identified in other causes of dystonia play a role in mechanisms that have been implicated in CRPS. Because different mutations in the same gene can result in diverse...
