| Abstract |
Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is clinically characterized by pain, abnormal regulation of blood flow and sweating, edema of skin and subcutaneous tissues, active and passive movement disorders, and trophic changes. It is classified as type I (reflex sympathetic dystrophy) and type II (causalgia). CRPS cannot be reduced to one system or to one mechanism only. In the past decades, there has been absolutely no doubt that complex regional pain syndromes have to be classified as neuropathic pain disorders. This situation changed when a proposal to redefine neuropathic pain states was recently published, which resulted in an exclusion of CRPS from neuropathic pain disorders. We analyzed the strength of the scientific evidence that supports the neuropathic nature of complex regional pain syndromes. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 05 September 2013.
All research outputs
#14,728,905
of 22,669,724 outputs
Outputs from Current Pain and Headache Reports
#542
of 798 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#76,555
of 94,906 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Current Pain and Headache Reports
#6
of 8 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,669,724 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 32nd percentile – i.e., 32% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 798 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 8.8. This one is in the 29th percentile – i.e., 29% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 94,906 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 18th percentile – i.e., 18% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 8 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than 2 of them.
