Abstract

Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is a debilitating disorder that causes significant pain and can decrease the quality of life of affected individuals. This is the first report of CRPS in an adolescent oncology patient, whose symptoms successfully resolved with 3 weeks of intensive, multimodal, and multidisciplinary therapies. She experienced a complete return to pre-CRPS functional status within 10 weeks. The successful outcome of this case highlights the importance of early recognition of CRPS in the adolescent population and the need for a multimodal intensive treatment regimen to prevent the development of chronic pain and loss of limb function.
