| Abstract: | Vitamin C 500 mg daily for 50 days reduced the risk of complex regional pain syndrome for patients with a wrist fracture. We think vitamin C 500 mg a day for 7 weeks is well worth recommending. Strength of recommendation A: Based on 2 consistent, well-designed randomized controlled trials (RCTs). |
