Resumen

Presentamos nuestra experiencia con la termografía para el diagnóstico del síndrome de dolor regional complejo (SDRC) tipo 2 a predominio unilateral.

Describimos los resultados en catorce pacientes en los cuales encontramos diferencias significativas de temperatura cuando comparamos el lado afectado con el sano o menos sintomático, con una evaluación directa con el tiempo de evolución.

Nuestros hallazgos muestran que la termografía puede ser un método útil para el diagnóstico del SDRC tipo 2 con un tiempo de evolución prolongado.
