Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) and the Gut-bacteria
Sponsor: McGill University Health Centre/Research Institute of the McGill University Health Centre
Summary
The purpose of this study is to investigate, for the first time, whether gut bacteria composition and function of patients with CRPS differ from those of healthy adults. Samples of stool, urine and blood will be collected from patients with CRPS and from healthy adults. The type and function of bacteria of CRPS patients will be analyzed and compared to those of healthy adults to test if potential differences could explain the mechanism/s involved with the development of CRPS.
