We contacted or attempted to contact the corresponding authors of 10 trials on three occasions in order to obtain missing outcomes data (Cacchio 2009b;Jeon 2014;Moseley 2004;Moseley 2005;Moseley 2009;Mucha 1992;Schreuders 2014;Uher 2000).…”

Participants developed CRPS I linked to a range of aetiologies including onset post fracture, soft-tissue injuries, stroke, surgery, carpal tunnel syndrome as well as of idiopathic onset.…”

“…Participants developed CRPS I linked to a range of aetiologies including onset post fracture, soft-tissue injuries, stroke, surgery, carpal tunnel syndrome as well as of idiopathic onset. Participants had acute symptoms (less than or equal to three months) of CRPS I in six trials (Cacchio 2009a;Dimitrijevic 2014;Durmus 2004;Hazneci 2005;Li 2012;Mucha 1992), chronic symptoms (greater than three months) in seven trials (Duman 2009;Jeon 2014;Moseley 2004;Moseley 2005;Moseley 2009;Schreuders 2014), a mix of acute and chronic symptoms in two trials (Askin 2014;, and three trials did not report the duration of symptoms (Aydemir 2006;Cacchio 2009b;Uher 2000). Trials were undertaken across a range of geographical locations including: Turkey (N = 5); Australia (N = 4); Italy, Germany, the Netherlands (N = 2 each); China, Serbia, and South Korea (N = 1 each).…”
