RSDSA Launches Major Study On The Natural And Long-term Health Effects Of CRPS
The Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy Syndrome Association (RSDSA) just launched an internet-based study entitled Long-term Health Effects Of CRPS- 20 Year Cross-sectional And Longitudinal Observational Cohort Study, funded by a Brodsky Family Foundation grant. The purpose of the study is to document the natural history of CRPS over a 20-year period. The study design is patterned after a registry database conducted by the North American Research Committee on Multiple Sclerosis (NARCOMS) Project, which has 34.000 participants. A previous internet-based survey of people with CRPS had 1,300, of whom about 1,000 participated in a follow-up questionnaire. RSDSA hopes that the new study will attract many more participants who will share their experience with CRPS for the benefit of all.
Anyone with the diagnosis of CRPS Types I and II can participate via a link on RSDSA’s website, or from the study website (www.crpssurvey.org) Potential participants, who are not familiar or comfortable with Internet-based communication, can contract the study’s project manager to obtain paper forms and questionnaires. Participation is voluntary and participants can withdraw from the study anytime they wish. Each year, the participants will be asked to answer questions about their health and healthcare utilization, treatment, and how CRPS is affecting their health and wellness. Because participants do not need to submit medical records to register for the study, we will periodically contact them to obtain medical records to validate the information in the database.
