Interventional pain management of CRPS in the pediatric population: A literature review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) is a condition that causes persistent and debilitating pain. It is often associated with physical injury but can also occur without identifiable trauma or ongoing injury. There are no published guidelines for CRPS treatment in the pediatric population, but interdisciplinary care, medication, and physical therapy are common approaches.

Objective

The objective of this literature review is to explore the different interventional pain management approaches that are currently being used and have shown effectiveness in the management of CRPS in the pediatric population.
