Abstract
Complex regional pain syndrom (CRPS) is a debilitating chronic pain condition that has a complicated pathophysiology and involves sensory, vasomotor, sudomotor, or motor changes. There are various treatments, but no one option is superior. Previous work has shown that acupuncture alleviates symptoms and decreases pain levels in adult patients with CRPS; however, there is limited information on the effects of acupuncture on pediatric patients with CRPS. The purpose of this case series is to examine acupuncture for pediatric CRPS.
