OH SB216

Designates November as "Complex Regional Pain Syndrome Awareness Month" to promote public awareness of the condition, also known as reflex sympathetic dystrophy syndrome.

Requires the Department of Health to include comprehensive information on its website about complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), including emerging research, risk factors, treatment options with risks and benefits, injury prevention, diagnostic services, and factors that may mitigate the condition's effects.

Defines CRPS as a debilitating chronic syndrome characterized by severe burning pain, pathological changes in bone and skin, excessive sweating, tissue swelling, and extreme sensitivity to touch.

Requires the Department of Health to notify boards of health, hospitals, clinics, and other healthcare providers about the availability of CRPS information on its website.

Takes effect 90 days after enactment and includes legislative findings that CRPS occurs in 5% of nerve injury cases, is often misdiagnosed, and requires early identification and treatment to prevent permanent disability.
