Anxiety, disability, and pain predict outcomes of Complex Regional Pain Syndrome: An 8-year follow-up of a prospective cohort

This study aimed to determine whether baseline psychological factors, pain, and disability influence long-term CRPS outcomes. We conducted an 8-year follow-up from a previous prospective study of CRPS outcomes. Sixty-six people diagnosed with acute CRPS were previously assessed at baseline, 6 months, and 12 months and in the current study, 45 were followed up after 8 years. At each timepoint, we measured: signs and symptoms of CRPS, pain, disability, and psychological factors.
