CRPS: Diagnosis, management and the nurse's role
Grieve, Sharon; McCabe, Candy
Abstract
Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) is a little known condition which may be rarely encountered by the nursing profession. This may lead to a delay in diagnosis and the initiation of important rehabilitation strategies. This article aims to raise awareness of this condition, providing information on how to diagnose and manage CRPS. It will be demonstrated how nurses can play a role in identifying the condition promptly and initiating referral to specialist services.
