Complex Regional Pain Syndrome Awareness Month

The motion

That the Parliament notes what it sees as the importance of Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) Awareness Month; understands that CRPS is a debilitating chronic disorder, mostly affecting the limbs, which is characterised by severe pain, pathological changes of bones, joints and skin, swelling, temperature and colour changes and motor dysfunction, which can cause a person to experience persistent, severe and debilitating pain; further understands that the condition may develop after an injury, surgery, stroke or heart attack, and that the pain can be out of proportion with the severity of the initial injury; notes that CRPS Awareness Month is held every November to raise awareness of the condition, and, as part of the initiative, that "Colour the World Orange Day" sees businesses, town halls and landmarks change their lights to orange in support of people living with CRPS; commends the volunteers and organisers at CRPS UK and Burning Nights CRPS Support for their efforts to raise awareness of what it sees as this poorly-understood condition; acknowledges that CRPS UK and Burning Nights are registered charities, with the shared goals of raising awareness of CRPS symptoms, providing invaluable support to people with the condition and advocating for more research development into it, and wishes all the organisers, volunteers, and the wider CRPS community, including those in the Motherwell and Wishaw constituency, every success in their efforts to increase public awareness of this debilitating condition and to support people affected by CRPS.
