The use of this treatment modality has been described in the literature with regards to pediatric CRPS treatment [ 5, 9, 84 – 86 ]. [ped-rheum.biomedcentral.com]

As a result, there is no cure and no treatment. This is because of its slow progression. Treatment can, however, manage specific symptoms through lifestyle changes and medications. [medicalnewstoday.com]

The events appear very frightening for carers but have a good prognosis. When reflex anoxic seizures are very frequent, atropine or cardiac pacing may be considered. [epilepsydiagnosis.org]

Prognosis Some children with RAP will continue to have intermittent or constant IBS [ 40, 41 ]. IBS is more likely to persist where there is a family history of IBS [ 42 ]. [patient.info]

Epidemiology [ 8 ] RAP affects 10-20% of school-aged children worldwide [ 9 ]. 3-8% of children with this pattern of pain have a causative organic pathology (and are excluded from the Rome definition of RAP). They usually have 'alarm' features. [patient.info]

This is less than the expected yearly reduction of approximately 8% in DAT availability in patients with iPD and suggests a different pathophysiological mechanism [ 15 ]. [karger.com]

The mechanism underlying the pathophysiology of FHM2 may include increased extracellular K + concentration due to altered pump action or an increase in intracellular Ca 2+ concentrations that leads to CSD ( 46, 52 ). [jci.org]

Pathophysiology The pathophysiology involves a dysregulation of visceral nerve pathways, leading to visceral hyperalgesia. Infective, inflammatory or psychological triggers may initiate this sensitisation [ 11, 12 ]. [patient.info]

In this way, episodes can usually be prevented (in 60 percent of patients completely prevented, in 33 percent partially prevented, and in about 5 percent colchicine is not effective) and amyloidosis can be prevented in 100 percent of patients. [my.clevelandclinic.org]
