Complex Regional Pain Syndrome is a chronic and debilitating pain disorder, typically considered lifelong with limited treatment options. Now, groundbreaking research finds that early detection and effective treatment can lead to significant recovery within 18 months, offering hope to millions of people worldwide.
CRPS is a multi-system disorder triggered by trauma such as surgery or fracture. It manifests with severe pain localised to a single limb, but often persists beyond typical recovery periods. Sufferers can experience issues with sweating, temperature regulation, and mobility. Women are disproportionately affected, with up to four times as many diagnosed with the condition as men.
"By combining education on the condition, pain medication, rehabilitation and psychology, we can tackle CRPS from all angles, giving patients the best chance of recovery within the first 12-18 months of symptoms." Among these intiatives is the ongoing MEMOIR study conducted by NeuRA and UniSA, an Australian Government-funded trial evaluating a medication and a newly developed rehabilitation program, with recruitment and treatment facilitated through telehealth to enable nationwide participation.Michael C Ferraro, Neil E O’Connell, Claudia Sommer, Andreas Goebel, Janet H Bultitude, Aidan G Cashin, G Lorimer Moseley, James H McAuley.
