Abstract: Article discusses the physical medicine management strategies for reflex sympathetic dystrophy syndrome (RSDS). It advocates a comprehensive team approach that attends to five basic principles. These principles are discussed: 1) prevention of RSDS by early mobilization of limbs affected by trauma or disease, 2) early diagnosis, 3) observation and diagnosis based on clinical findings, 4) the use of a multidisciplinary team approach that combines physical therapies, pharmacology, and psychological therapy and 5) prevention of late complications. Another important factor is maintaining the most effective treatment by the use of objective measures of improvement. Descriptor Terms: PAIN, PREVENTION, DIAGNOSIS, PHYSICAL MEDICINE, CLINICAL MANAGEMENT.
