(530) Functional, emotional, and pain outcomes of patients with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome treated in a comprehensive interdisciplinary pain management program

This study investigated whether CRPS can be effectively treated in a comprehensive interdisciplinary pain management program. This is a retrospective chart review of 49 patients (67% female) aged 18-89 (M=39.57) years who fulfilled CRPS Budapest Criteria and completed a 4-week interdisciplinary pain management program between 2008 and 2013. Changes in physical functioning, perceived disability, emotional functioning, coping, and pain were assessed between initial visit and program completion using the following measures: Pain Disability Index (PDI), Six minute walk test (6MWT), two minute sit-to-stand (2MSTS), Numerical Rating Scale (NRS), Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CESD-10), Pain Anxiety Symptoms Scale (PASS-20), Chronic Pain Acceptance Questionnaire (CPAQ), and Coping Strategies Questionnaire-Revised (CSQ-R).
