Usually, no further diagnostic evaluations are needed if there are no abnormal findings in the initial diagnostic workup. [ped-rheum.biomedcentral.com]

If you delay treatment, the pain may get worse. [northshore.org]

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]

It is yet to be determined whether the etiology of FHM3 and childhood seizures both result from sodium channelopathies affecting the brain. [jci.org]

Etiology and Pathophysiology One study showed a threefold increase in the risk of IBS in persons with an immediate family member who has had the condition. 4 In addition to genetics, other possible etiologies for IBS include disturbances in gastrointestinal [aafp.org]

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]

Therefore an interplay between neural and vasoactive agents may be involved in the pathophysiology of EM. erythromelalgia laser Doppler flowmetry skin sympathetic activity vasoconstriction The Biochemical Society and the Medical Research Society © 1999 [clinsci.org]

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]
