Role of the Gut Microbiome in Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (NCT03612193)
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The objective of this prospective, observational study is to determine the association between the composition of the gut microbiota and the severity and persistence of Complex Regional Pain Syndrome symptoms (Study A). The objective of Study B, a longitudinal study of microbiota biomarkers of patients with newly diagnosed CRPS is to determine if the researchers can predict which patients are more likely to recover compared to those who do not. A secondary objective of both studies is to examine cognitive flexibility in relation to outcomes (study A and B).
