DelveInsight’s ‘Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) - Epidemiology Forecast to 2030’ report delivers an in-depth understanding of the disease, historical and forecasted CRPS epidemiology in the 7MM, i.e., the United States, EU5 (Germany, France, Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom), and Japan.
Study Period: 2017–2030
Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is one of the most challenging chronic pain condition that is characterized by progressively worsening spontaneous regional pain without dermatomal distribution. The pain experienced is out of proportion in time and severity to the inciting event and accompanied by symptoms that vary in severity including skin changes, autonomic dysfunction, abnormal sensory and motor changes, and trophic changes. CRPS may develop after major trauma, surgery, or minor injury, and progresses with a variable course that ranges from self-limiting, mild symptomatology to chronic disease. In many cases, disease progression is debilitating and severely limits patients’ quality of life, creating a tremendous burden on patients and their families. Over time, CRPS has been defined and redefined. CRPS develops after an inciting noxious stimulus to an affected limb. There is little agreement with regards to the etiology, symptoms, clinical presentation, diagnosis, or treatment of CRPS.
In order to bring some uniformity to this problem, the International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP) in 1994 introduced the term CRPS to describe a wide variety of post-traumatic neuropathic pain conditions of the limbs. There are two types of CRPS, Type I occurs after an illness or injury that did not directly damage a nerve in the affected area, and Type II follows a distinct nerve injury. Although the triggers vary, both types of CRPS have the same symptoms and go through the same three stages of the disease. CRPS used to be known as reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD) (Type I) and causalgia (Type II). Type I comprises about 90 percent of all cases of CRPS. Patients typically progress through three stages —Stage I or acute stage (may last up to 3 months), Stage II or Dystrophic stage (can last 3–12 months), Stage III and atrophic stage (occurs after 1 year). There are no objective diagnostic tests for CRPS. Since, its pathophysiologic basis of CRPS is not fully understood, mechanism-based diagnosis is not yet feasible. Therefore, the diagnosis of CRPS is based solely on clinical signs and symptoms. The actual diagnosis of CRPS is made solely based on history and physical examination to determine whether a patient meets CRPS diagnostic criteria (often called the Budapest criteria). Other than this, objective testing (thermography, triple-phase bone scan, quantitative sudomotor axon reflex test, or a trial sympathetic ganglion block) may be used to support a clinical diagnosis.
The CRPS epidemiology division provides the insights about historical and current CRPS patient pool and forecasted trend for each seven major countries. It helps to recognize the causes of current and forecasted trends by exploring numerous studies and views of key opinion leaders. This part of the DelveInsight report also provides the diagnosed patient pool and their trends along with assumptions undertaken.
In the year 2017, the total prevalent case of CRPS was 310,489 cases in the 7MM which are expected to grow during the study period, i.e., 2017–2030.
The disease epidemiology covered in the report provides historical as well as forecasted CRPS epidemiology [segmented as Total prevalent cases of CRPS, Total diagnosed prevalent cases of CRPS, Gender-specific diagnosed prevalent cases of CRPS, Age-specific diagnosed prevalent cases of CRPS, Type-specific diagnosed prevalent cases of CRPS, Severity-specific diagnosed prevalent cases of CRPS, and Total Treated Cases of CRPS scenario of CRPS in the 7MM covering United States, EU5 countries (Germany, France, Italy, Spain, and United Kingdom), and Japan from 2017 to 2030.
We interview, KOL’s and SME's opinion through primary research to fill the data gaps and validate our secondary research. The opinion helps to understand the total patient population and current treatment pattern. This will support the clients in potential upcoming novel treatment by identifying the over CRPS scenario of the indications.
