Is complex regional pain syndrome a brain injury with severe pain condition?

CRPS is a debilitating, painful condition in a limb, associated with sensory, motor, autonomic, skin and bone abnormalities. CRPS commonly arises after injury to that limb. It is essentially an imbalance of the peripheral sympathetic nervous system.
