The pain of episcleritis is typically mild, less severe than in scleritis, [3] and may be tender to palpation. [ 4 ] There are two types of episcleritis: the diffuse type, where the redness involves the entire episclera, and the nodular type, where the redness appears more nodular , involving only a small, well-circumscribed area ( sectoral ...
Complex regional pain syndrome is uncommon, and its cause is not clearly understood. CRPS typically develops after an injury, surgery, heart attack, or stroke. [8] [12] Investigators estimate that 2–5% of those with peripheral nerve injury, [13] and 13–70% of those with hemiplegia (paralysis of one side of the body) [14] will develop CRPS.
Scleritis may be differentiated from episcleritis by using phenylephrine eye drops, which causes blanching of the blood vessels in episcleritis, but not in scleritis. [ 4 ] Ancillary tests CT scans , MRIs , and ultrasonographies can be helpful, but do not replace the physical examination.

Complex regional pain syndrome is characterized by pain that is distributed regionally, usually starts in an extremity distally, occurs after a trauma, and is disproportionate in severity or duration compared to the expected course of the trauma — the sites affected by complex regional pain syndrome experience autonomic and inflammatory changes.
I do not know the answer for sure, but I do not understand how the pain itself can be characterized as more or less “complex,” and the syndrome may involve the interaction of many different physiological processes, so I think that it is the syndrome that is “complex.” 71.178.188.47 15:42, 15 February 2013 (UTC)
