AI Summary

  • Designates November as "Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy Syndrome Awareness Month" in New Jersey and requests the Governor to issue an annual proclamation for observance.

  • Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy Syndrome (RSDS), also known as complex regional pain syndrome, is a chronic condition causing severe burning pain, bone and skin changes, tissue swelling, and extreme sensitivity to touch.

  • Amends P.L.2007, c.255 to add legislative findings emphasizing the importance of public awareness, research funding, and education efforts for RSDS throughout the state.

  • Early treatment is critical as delayed diagnosis can cause the disorder to spread, leading to irreversible bone and muscle changes, limited mobility, and permanent disability.

  • Builds upon New Jersey's existing RSDS education and research program established in 2007 within the Department of Health.
