Abstract

Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) and chronic postsurgical pain (CPSP) are postoperative outcomes that present with debilitating symptoms for patients. The recovery of patients with these conditions is complicated by the lack of standardized prevention and treatment strategies. Current literature suggests that vitamin C may prevent the development of CRPS. Due to the overlapping proposed mechanisms of CRPS and CPSP, the aim of this review is to summarize the available data on the benefits of vitamin supplementation on CRPS and CPSP.
