Introduction: Complex regional pain syndrome type 1 (CRPS-1) is a rare, chronic condition following injury without an identifiable nerve lesion. Pain and physical impairment can persist years after diagnosis.¹ CRPS-1 is not in the Social Security Administration Blue Book of impairments qualifying for disability but was added as a Medically Determinable Impairment (MDI) in 2024.² We examined diagnoses of mobility impairment and transition to presumptive Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) among patients after first CRPS-1 diagnosis.
