Síndrome Doloroso Regional Complejo (SDRC). Una breve revisión de literatura
Resumen
El Síndrome Doloroso Regional Complejo (SDRC) es una entidad clínica caracterizada por un dolor desproporcionado al evento desencadenante. Se subclasifica en 2 tipos: 1) SDRC tipo I que hace referencia a la ausencia de lesión nerviosa evidente, y 2) SDRC tipo II involucra la presencia de una lesión nerviosa evidente. Su fisiopatología no es bien comprendida pero se teoriza la participación de una disreguación del sistema nervioso autónomo, sensibilización central y periférica del sistena simpático, procesos inflamatorios del sistema inmune tanto innato como adaptativo, neuroinflamación, y factores genéticos. El diagnóstico es clínico y por descarte, se realiza por medio de los ampliamente aceptados Criterios de Budapest en el que se detallan loa signos y síntomas que debe presentar y referir el paciente. El tratamiento es multidisciplinario con la terapia física y ocupacional como la principal herramienta que suele ir acompañado de manejo farmacológico el cual en caso de fallar, se evalúa la posibilidad de empezar un abordaje intervencionista
