Early CRPS Is a Heterogeneous Condition: Results From a Latent Class Analysis.

Background: Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is a debilitating condition characterised by significant heterogeneity. Early diagnosis is critical, but limited data exists on the condition's early stages. This study aimed to characterise (very) early CRPS patients and explore potential subgroups to enhance understanding of its mechanisms.

Do lifestyle factors influence pain prognosis? A 1-year follow-up study.

Objective: The aim of this observational longitudinal study was to investigate the impact of lifestyle factors on the prognosis of patients with pain.

Methods: This study was part of a large prospective longitudinal study conducted in general practice (GP). Participants completed questionnaires at baseline (T0) and one year later (T1).

Biological and psychological early prognostic factors in complex regional pain syndrome: A systematic review.

Background And Objective: Several risk factors for the onset of CRPS have been found, but evidence for prognostic factors associated with the progression of this condition remains sparse. However, the detection and management of these factors are necessary to design secondary prevention strategies. The objective of this systematic review was to identify prognostic factors in adult individuals with early CRPS.
