The 'Complex' part refers to the fact that it is a disease with many components, symptoms and effects on sufferers, andinvolves more than one system in the body. CRPS is a 'Chronic' condition because it is long-term (expected to last years).
As in the difference between pain types - 'acute' (short term) and 'chronic' (long-term).
