Optimising clinical trial methods for complex regional pain syndrome: a methodological framework (OptiMeth-CRPS)
A methodological framework for optimising clinical trials in CRPS has been developed. The OptiMeth-CRPS methodological framework may support the CRPS research community to undertake high-quality clinical trials and improve the quality of the evidence on which clinical decisions and guidelines for the management of CRPS are based.
