The objective of the present investigation was to describe and localize autonomic dysfunction in acute and chronic stages of complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS). Patients were investigated twice: the first investigation was performed as soon as diagnosis was established during the acute stage of CRPS and the second investigation was performed about 2 years later. Twenty-one patients completed the follow-up investigation. The median duration of CRPS was 5 (range 2-21) weeks at first investigation and 94 weeks (22-148) at follow-up. Skin temperature was recorded by thermography, sudomotor function was assessed by thermoregulatory sweat test (TST) and quantitative sudomotor axon reflex test (QSART). Skin temperature was warmer on the affected side at the first investigation (P
