Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This observational study aims to understand phenotype-specific molecular signatures in patients with complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS).

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase

    Detailed Description

    Participants who meet the diagnostic criteria for CRPS, aged 19~80 years, and agree to participate in this study will undergo a 4mm-sized skin punch biopsy in the involved limb, as well as the contralateral side (internal control).

    Spatial transcriptomics will be used to identify immune cell signatures and differentially regulated genes (DEGs) in the epidermis, vasculature, sweat gland, and nerve plexus of the involved ipsilateral (vs contralateral) side of the patient's skin.
