REFLEX SYMPATHETIC DYSTROPHY
WALEED ARAFAT EL- TOHAMEY;
Abstract
Reflex sympathetic dystrophy indicates the syndrome of a painful, swollen, discolored, abnormally sensitive and useless extremity usually developing after trauma.
Various theories have been offered to explain the vasomotor changes, including an abnormality in the central nervous system. Other have suggested abnormalities of the peripheral nervous system, with abnormal synapses between efferent sympathetic nerves and afferent sensory nerves, on sensitisted peripheral nerves discharging span tenuously.
The best therapy for reflex sympathetic dystrophy is prophylaxis interventions as collected under the general term early functional mobilization are, especially after surgical measures, a major factor in the avoidance of neuro vegetative dysregulation in the sense of sympathetic reflex dystrophy.
The pathogenesis of reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD) is not clear, nor is there a definitive treatment for this syndrome.
The treatment of RSD involves the interruption of the sympathetic nerve reflex, pharmacologically or surgically and a proper hand therapy program.
After adequate interruption of the sympathetic nerve reflex, several adjunctive treatment modalities may be helpful in rehabilitating the patient.
