•Patients diagnosed with CRPS according to the new IASP criteria
•Patients must have vasomotor disturbance; the skin temperature of the affected extremity is at least 1°C colder than skin temperature of the contralateral extremity. This will be measured using a thermography imaging camera and determined using MatLab
•Patients must have a DRG stimulator for treatment of CRPS, that has been implanted at least three months before inclusion
•Clinically the contralateral extremity must be without signs or symptoms in a way that it can be used as a control.
•Age < 18 years
•Patients diagnosed with other disease that influences the peripheral blood flow
•Patients using medication that influences peripheral blood flow
•DRG stimulator implanted within three months before inclusion
