IgE-Mediated Hypersensitivity: Patients with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome Type 1 (CRPS1) vs the Dutch Population. A Retrospective Study
Objective. To investigate whether hypersensitivity is more common in Complex Regional Pain Syndrome type 1 (CRPS1) patients than in the general population. In a recent study, the level of tryptase, a specific marker for mast cells, was significantly higher in blister fluid from the involved extremity of CRPS1 patients. This suggested that mast cells may play a role in the pathophysiology of CRPS1.
