Research summary
The study involves a voluntary survey to current members of the charity CRPS-UK. The survey explores reasons why a patient may have developed CRPS, such as the cause of the symptoms and any associated medical history. This will help surgeons better estimate who is likely to develop CRPS and guide future surgical decisions. It also seeks to discover what therapies patients may have found beneficial and how CRPS affects their lives.
