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.
[1] [2] Symptoms are typically vague and non-specific. They may include fatigue, headaches, nausea, and dizziness. Recent imaging studies have shown that it is likely a neurological condition. [3] MCS is a chronic disease that requires ongoing management. In the long term, about half of people with MCS get better and about half continue to be ...

[1]: 632 The posterior column-medial lemniscus pathway is responsible for carrying information involving fine, discriminative touch. Therefore, two-point discrimination can be impaired by damage ...
Cure monitoring is, for example, an essential component for the control of the manufacturing process of composite materials. The material, initially liquid, at the end of the process will be solid: viscosity is the most important property that changes during the process. Cure monitoring relies on monitoring various physical or chemical properties.

In these cases, the gold standard test is the best test that keeps the patient alive, and even gold standard tests can require follow-up to confirm or refute the ...
