After going through each of the topics separately that is CIPA and CRPS, there is a need for me to bring the two topics together for justification.
As we are all aware that CIPA is the opposite of CRPS and vice versa. A CIPA patient doesn't feel pain, neither did they feel temperature(heat or cold) while a CRPS patient feel pain excessively even if wind blows towards their directly.
SYMPTOMS OF CIPA AND CRPS PATIENTS
| CRPS PATIENT | CIPA PATIENT |
|---|---|
| Incessant burning and throbbing pain, usually in the arm and leg. | Inability to sweat. |
| Sensitivity to touch or cold (or even if wind blows). | Inability to regulate their body temperature. |
| Swelling of the affected/painful area. | Inability to feel pain and temperature. |
| Changes in skin temperature. | Bone problem and joint problem due to repeated injuries. |
The body of Homo sapiens is programmed to respond to external stimulus depending on the force exerted on such human as well as the strength he had. If there is a change in the expected outcome of the response to external stimulus, there is an abnormality otherwise known as illness. Part of those illness that come as a result of not feeling pain or feeling excessive pain is CIPA and CRPS respectively. Be it illness that involve pain or not, both leads to death if not properly taken care of. CRPS involves pain while CIPA comes with no pain at all.
CAUSES
CIPA is caused by genetic mutations while CRPS occurs after a distinct nerve injury or after an illness/injury.
PREVENTION/TREATMENT
| CRPS | CIPA |
|---|---|
| Taking vitamin C after a wrist fracture. | Checking their vital daily. |
| Early mobilization after a stroke. | Fixing of CCTV camera is good measure to watch their activities at night which may harm to their body system. |
CONCLUSION
As individuals search for what to eat and drink, there is need for us to also know the state of our health. Knowing the state of our health is not enough but, doing necessary things to maintain a good health status is essential.
STAY SAFE ALWAYS !
