Clinical features of pediatric complex regional pain syndrome: A 5-year retrospective chart review
Clinical Journal of Pain Nov 15, 2019
Mesaroli G, Ruskin D, Campbell F, et al. - Researchers investigated the clinical features and disease outcomes of pediatric complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) via assessing the clinical course among 59 children with CRPS. In addition, they examined the differences in clinical features of pediatric CRPS with and without related movement disorders, and between children who had a favorable and unfavorable outcome. In this retrospective chart review, 59 children with CRPS who presented to a pediatric Chronic Pain Clinic in Canada over a 5-year period (2012 to 2016) were assessed. In this cohort, girls around the age of 12 experienced pediatric CRPS most commonly, usually in the lower extremity; most of these experienced a favorable outcome. Overall, CRPS-related movement disorder was evident in 25% (n = 15). Pediatric CRPS with or without related movement disorders did not differ in the clinical features. They identified reporting of a significantly shorter symptom duration at the initial visit among children who experienced a favorable outcome vs children who experienced an unfavorable outcome.
