Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) Disease Understanding and Treatment Algorithm
Complex Regional Pain Syndrome Overview
Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is one of the most challenging chronic pain condition that is characterized by progressively worsening spontaneous regional pain without dermatomal distribution. The pain experienced is out of proportion in time and severity to the inciting event and accompanied by symptoms that vary in severity including skin changes, autonomic dysfunction, abnormal sensory and motor changes, and trophic changes. CRPS may develop after major trauma, surgery, or minor injury, and progresses with a variable course that ranges from self-limiting, mild symptomatology to chronic disease. In many cases, disease progression is debilitating and severely limits patients’ quality of life, creating a tremendous burden on patients and their families. Over time, CRPS has been defined and redefined. CRPS develops after an inciting noxious stimulus to an affected limb. There is little agreement with regards to the etiology, symptoms, clinical presentation, diagnosis, or treatment of CRPS.
In order to bring some uniformity to this problem, the International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP) in 1994 introduced the term CRPS to describe a wide variety of post-traumatic neuropathic pain conditions of the limbs. There are two types of CRPS, Type I occurs after an illness or injury that did not directly damage a nerve in the affected area, and Type II follows a distinct nerve injury. Although the triggers vary, both types of CRPS have the same symptoms and go through the same three stages of the disease. CRPS used to be known as reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD) (Type I) and causalgia (Type II). Type I comprises about 90 percent of all cases of CRPS. Patients typically progress through three stages ?Stage I or acute stage (may last up to 3 months), Stage II or Dystrophic stage (can last 3–12 months), Stage III and atrophic stage (occurs after 1 year). There are no objective diagnostic tests for CRPS. Since, its pathophysiologic basis of CRPS is not fully understood, mechanism-based diagnosis is not yet feasible. Therefore, the diagnosis of CRPS is based solely on clinical signs and symptoms. The actual diagnosis of CRPS is made solely based on history and physical examination to determine whether a patient meets CRPS diagnostic criteria (often called the Budapest criteria). Other than this, objective testing (thermography, triple-phase bone scan, quantitative sudomotor axon reflex test, or a trial sympathetic ganglion block) may be used to support a clinical diagnosis.

CRPS Treatment
Given these obstacles to diagnosis, treatment, and research, Interdisciplinary approach is currently practiced widely for the management of CRPS which define the market scenario. Different interventional and non-interventional treatment modalities are applied empirically in a timely manner to facilitate reanimation of the affected extremity. Current treatment for CRPS includes non-surgical methods like medications (Pain reliever, Antidepressants and anticonvulsants, Corticosteroids, and Sympathetic nerve-blocking medication), Biofeedback, and therapy.
CRPS Epidemiology

CRPS Emerging Drugs
Soticlestat (TAK-935/OV935): Ovid Therapeutics/Takeda
Soticlestat, also known as OV935 or TAK-935 is a potent, highly selective, first-in-class inhibitor of the enzyme cholesterol 24-hydroxylase (CH24H), with the potential to reduce seizure susceptibility and improve seizure control. CH24H is predominantly expressed in the brain, where it converts cholesterol into 24S-hydroxycholesterol (24HC) to adjust the homeostatic balance of brain cholesterol. Soticlestat has completed (October 2020) Phase II (NCT03990649; EudraCT 2018-004750-21) of clinical trial in patients with CRPS.
BHV-5000: AstraZeneca/Biohaven Pharmaceutical
Biohaven Pharmaceutical’s, BHV-5000 is an orally available, first-in-class, low-trapping, NMDA receptor antagonist. It is being developed for the treatment of neuropsychiatric disorders such as CRPS, Rett Syndrome and Major Depression. The company has already completed a Phase I trial in 2018 to evaluate its pharmacokinetic properties. This drug was reported to be well-tolerated.
Note: Detailed emerging therapies assessment will be provided in the final report.

CRPS Drugs Uptake
There is dearth of US FDA and EMA approved therapies for CRPS and current market is mainly dominated by off-label therapies such as Non-opioid analgesics, Opioid analgesics, Co-analgesics, Local treatment, and others. In the absence of approved therapies, Opioid analgesics which are mainly reserved for Moderate-to-severe or refractory pool, grabbed the highest market share in 2017, followed by Co-analgesics among the off-label therapies. In comparison to all the therapies (off-label and forecasted therapies), Soticlestat (TAK-935) will going to have a major influence on market size CRPS in the 7MM, if approved.
