Extent of recovery in the first 12 months of complex regional pain syndrome type‐1: A prospective study

ConclusionsOverall the results were less optimistic than several previously conducted prospective studies and suggest that few cases of CRPS resolve completely within 12 months of onset. Improvements were generally greater in the first 6 months, and suggest that it may be worth exploring early interventions to prevent long‐term disability in CRPS.
