Determinants of Diagnostic Delay in Complex Regional Pain Syndrome Type 1: An Observational Study of 180 Consecutive New Cases.
Abstract
Complex regional pain syndrome type 1 (CRPS-1) is a disabling painful disease, with variable outcomes in terms of chronic pain and disability. A long time between onset and diagnosis seems predictive for late recovery and progression toward a chronic disease. This study aims to investigate demographic and clinical variables associated with delayed CRPS-1 diagnosis.
