Brief description This project will contribute essential knowledge about what causes some people to develop Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS). CRPS affects approximately 5% of people following a fracture but can also occur with minimal injury. Sufferers experience gradually worsening levels of pain, skin discolouration, poor quality of life, and often severe depression. We will investigate the most likely cause of CRPS, which is thought to be an abnormal inflammatory reaction following injury.
