Description
The Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy Syndrome Association (RSDSA) is a nonprofit professional and consumer organization founded in 1984 to support research into the cause, treatment, and cure of reflex sympathetic dystrophy syndrome, also known as Complex Reginal Pain Syndrome (CRPS), a multi-symptom syndrome usually affecting one or more of the extremities, although any part of the body may be affected. The only common symptom in all patients is pain. RSDSA funds research into the cause and cure of this syndrome, helps organize support groups, promote awareness among health professionals, and develop educational forums and conventions.
