Abstract
The article presents the main criteria for the diagnosis of complex regional pain syndromes (CRPS); main stages of pathogenesis and clinical features of these conditions are described. Much attention is paid to methods for the treatment of complex regional pain syndromes, including the use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Nimesulide (Nise) is one of the selective NSAIDs considered for treatment of CRPS whose action is being implemented not only through inhibition of cyclooxygenase type-2, but also due to the ability to inhibit the production of free radicals and tumor necrosis factor α.
