Prognostic Factors for Complex Regional Pain Syndrome

Sponsor: Cliniques universitaires Saint-Luc- Université Catholique de Louvain

Summary

The investigators would like to examine the role of some relevant biopsychosocial factors in the development of persistent CRPS. According to the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) \[43\], the outcomes will belong to one of the three following components: * Body structures and functions (pain, CRPS severity score (CSS)), * Activities (disability) * Participation (return to work, quality of life). The primary aim is to assess predicting factors for chronification. The secondary aims are: * to evaluate if it is possible to classify acute complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) patients into subgroups according to their risk of chronification. * to document the course of the disease. The main evaluation criteria will be to determine the impact of the different clinical and non-clinical variables on the course of the CRPS and on the aforementioned outcomes then, which will use as endpoints. * Primary endpoint: disability * Secondary endpoints: participation-QoL, return to work, pain, CRPS severity score.
