Panel – CRPS Current and Emerging Concepts
In this video, a panel of experts, including Dr. Christopher Garibo, discuss the complexities of diagnosing and treating Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS). They explore the evolution of CRPS diagnostic criteria from the mid-1990s to the early 2000s, highlighting the challenges of differentiating it from other pain syndromes. Emphasis is placed on a multidisciplinary approach to treatment, including physical therapy, psychological evaluation, and interventional procedures like sympathetic nerve blocks and neuromodulation. The panel underscores the importance of early and aggressive treatment, particularly in younger patients, to improve outcomes and prevent chronicity.
