A bibliographical review of the current concepts attributed to the complex regional pain syndrome, a term proposed by the International Association for the Study of Pain, in 1994, was made. Several factors take part in the appearance of this syndrome, such as the peripheral nervous system, the central and vegetative system, the endocrine system, and the psychological, historical, environmental and circumstantial factors  that together allow to personalize pain in each patient. The objective of the treatment is to alleviate the painful symptoms so that the patient may reestablish his normal life. It has 3 fundamental milestones: the combination of drugs, and the physical and psychological therapy.

Palabras clave : Complex regional pain sydrome; factors; treatment.
