Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is an uncommon neuropathic pain illness characterized by extreme discomfort, muscular weakness, limb edema, and hyperhidrosis. Fracture, surgery, stroke, and spinal cord damage are all potential risk factors. This case report study provides a detailed description of no-traumatic CRPS, a complex pain illness characterized by sensory, vasomotor, sudomotor, motor, trophic, and edematous changes and persistent discomfort. We reported a case of a 39-year-old male with a seven-year history of severe right shoulder-hand pain. He presented with recurrent hand and shoulder pain characterized by burning sensations and weakness, despite not having experienced this before, and he denied any history of trauma or fracture. Surgical procedure and pharmaceutical therapy were provided, but there was no outcome, as evidenced by the patient's clinical condition and the medical records. Despite extensive investigation, no imaging or laboratory tests have been developed for diagnosis, necessitating further research for a comprehensive understanding and diagnosis., Competing Interests: Human subjects: Consent was obtained or waived by all participants in this study.

Introduction: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) prevention and management are susceptible issues that require specific rules to sustain and oversee their functioning, as preventing VTE is a vital patient safety priority. This paper aims to investigate and provide recommendations for VTE assessment and reassessment through policy enhancement and development., Methods: We reviewed different papers and policies to propose recommendations and theme analysis for policy modifications and enhancements to improve VTE prophylaxis and management., Results: Recommendations were set to enhance the overall work of VTE prophylaxis, where the current VTE protocols and policies must ensure high levels of patient safety and satisfaction. The recommendations included working through a well-organized multidisciplinary team and staff engagement to support and enhance VTE's work. Nurses', pharmacists', and physical therapists' involvement in setting up the plan and prevention is the way to share the knowledge and paradigm of experience to standardize the management. Promoting policies regarding VTE prophylaxis assessment and reassessment using electronic modules as a part of the digital health process was proposed. A deep understanding of the underlying issues and the incorporation of generic policy recommendations were set., Conclusion: This article presents recommendations for stakeholders, social media platforms, and healthcare practitioners to enhance VTE prophylaxis and management., Competing Interests: Source of Support: None.
