Abstract

Complex regional pain syndrome-1 (CRPS-1) is a chronic neuropathic disorder, and post-stroke CRPS (PS-CRPS) is not a rare complication. There is a lack of study implementing the Budapest criteria for PS-CRPS diagnosis. Thus, the present study investigated the validity of the Budapest criteria for PS-CRPS diagnosis and assessed the PS-CRPS-related factors in stroke patients with an affected upper extremity.
