Cognitive Function in Patients With Complex Regional Pain Syndrome: No Clear Impairment Found in a Select Patient Sample

This study explores the underexamined cognitive dysfunction in Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS). Cognitive issues, often reported by CRPS patients, can add to the burden on daily life and quality of life (QoL) but are rarely assessed. By comparing CRPS with CTS, this research examines whether cognitive impairments are specific to CRPS. Identifying these issues may lead to targeted therapies addressing both pain and cognitive challenges, ultimately improving patient outcomes and QoL.
