Treating Complex Regional Pain Syndrome: A Primary Care Primer
Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) has proven very difficult to treat successfully, despite research into a wide variety of pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic therapies.1,2 The earlier the diagnosis is made and treatment is begun, the greater the likelihood of at least lessening, if not completely eliminating symptoms, and of long-term recovery.
