(2) Must report at least one symptom in each of the four following categories:
– Sensory: reports of hyperesthesia and/or allodynia

– Sudomotor/edema: reports of edema and/or sweating changes and/or sweating
asymmetry
– Motor/trophic: reports of decreased range of motion and/or motor dysfunction
(weakness, tremor, dystonia) and/or trophic changes (hair, nail, skin)
(3) Must display at least one sign at time of evaluation in two or more of the following categories:
– Sensory: evidence of hyperalgesia (to pinprick) and/or allodynia (to light touch and/or deep somatic pressure and/or joint movement)
