OBJECTIVE: To elucidate the real impact in the medical literature of the different denominations for reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD). METHODS: A search was performed through the Medline database (WinSPIRS, SilverPlatter International, NS), from 1995 to 1999, including the following descriptors: RSD, complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), CRPS type I, algodystrophy, Sudeck, shoulder-hand syndrome, transient osteoporosis, causalgia, and CRPS type II. RESULTS: The descriptor RSD was detected in 576 references, algodystrophy in 54, transient osteoporosis in 42, CRPS type I in 24, Sudeck in 16, and shoulder-hand syndrome in 11. One hundred records were obtained for the descriptor causalgia and five for CRPS type II. The descriptor RSD was detected in the title of 262 references, algodystrophy in 29, transient osteoporosis in 29, CRPS type I in 15, Sudeck in 3, shoulder-hand syndrome in 5, causalgia in 17, and CRPS type II in 3 references. CONCLUSIONS: The new CRPS terminology has not effectively replaced the old one. RSD and causalgia are the most used denominations.

With its patients scattered throughout Central Texas--a region roughly the size of Massachusetts-Scott and White Memorial Hospital and Clinic, based in Temple, Texas, has turned to telemedicine to help bring healthcare to underserved areas. Gregory Hobbs, M.D., (left) Scott and White's director of telehealth, has overseen steady growth in the hospital's telemedicine services, which now support five clinics, five regional hospitals and five rural clinics outside of the network.
