This is a review of current literature of noninvasive treatments for pediatric
complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS). There are a variety of noninvasive
approaches to the treatment of pain, but few pediatric-focused studies have been
published in regard to CRPS.
In comparison with adult CRPS, there is a greater
need for behavioral approaches in children to enable coping with difficult
symptoms. Current gaps in knowledge include mechanisms triggering CRPS,
pediatric-focused diagnostic criteria, validated tests that are diagnostically
specific, definitive treatment protocols, age-based medication recommendations,
and validation of specific noninvasive treatments in pediatric populations.
Intensive multidisciplinary treatment is supported by high recovery rates and a
family-centered approach that allows continuation of goals into the community
environment.
