You would be doing yourself and your patients a disservice if a nutritional recommendation of 500mg of Vitamin C wasn't done. With no side effects found in the study, very low cost, low level of skill required, it only makes sense to recommend it to all patients as a preventative measure to reduce the risk of them having to suffer through the symptoms of CRPS. Vitamin C at a dose of at least 500 mg/day for 50 days reduced the rate of CRPS from 10% to 2% (number needed to treat [NNT]=13) correlating to a relative risk of 0.17 with a confidence interval of 0.04–0.77. This is the second study undertaken by the same investigators to demonstrate risk reduction. The previous study enrolled only 129 patients, but found an absolute risk reduction of 15% (NNT=7; P
