General Guideline Principles for N-Acetylcysteine (NAC)
for CRPS for workers compensation patients
The New York State workers compensation board has developed these guidelines to help physicians, podiatrists, and other healthcare professionals provide appropriate treatment for N-Acetylcysteine (NAC) for CRPS.
These Workers Compensation Board guidelines are intended to assist healthcare professionals in making decisions regarding the appropriate level of care for their patients with ankle and foot disorders.
The guidelines are not a substitute for clinical judgement or professional experience. The ultimate decision regarding care must be made by the patient in consultation with his or her healthcare provider.
N-Acetylcysteine (NAC) for CRPS
N-Acetylcysteine (NAC) for CRPS is recommended as a supplement to an active therapy and exercise regimen for the treatment of CRPS.
Indications: CRPS severe enough to warrant medication. NSAIDs, tricyclic antidepressants, bisphosphonates, and anti-convulsant agents are a few other treatment approaches that typically should have been tried and failed as well.
Frequency/Dose/Duration: three oral doses of 600 mg of N-acetylcysteine every day. The quality trial lasted for 17 weeks. Some patients don’t need extensive care, especially if they follow a functional restoration programme, which is the main goal of the treatment plan.
