I just received this from the RSDSA (Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy Syndrome Association) and thought I would share it with all of you.
 Abbie Prevalence of Complex Regional Pain Syndrome in a Cohort of Multiple Sclerosis Patients Robert J. Schwartzman, MD, Chamindra Gurusinghe, MD, and Edward Gracely, MD Pain Physician. 2008;11:133-136. CLICK ON LINK BELOW TO READ FULL REPORT: http://www.rsds.org/2/library/article_archive/pop/Schwartzman_Gurusinghe_Gracely.pdf Background: More than 50% of multiple sclerosis patients experience chronic pain syndrome. We set out to determine the specific type of chronic pain that was seen in our multiple sclerosis patients. Methods: Patients with multiple sclerosis were catalogued between January 2002 and April 2006 and identified by a search of the database. Only MS patients that met the 2005 revised McDonald criteria were included. Results: We determined the prevalence rate of complex regional pain syndrome in a cohort of multiple sclerosis patients. In our sample of 205 multiple sclerosis patients, the prevalence of complex regional pain syndrome was 4 cases per 205 compared to an expected age and sex-adjusted total prevalence of 0.078 cases per 205 (p < 0.0001). Conclusion: This study suggests that multiple sclerosis patients are at a higher risk of developing complex regional pain syndrome than the general population.
