Abstrakt:	Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is an increasingly recognized pain condition in the pediatric population. Occupational therapy (OT) is a crucial component of a multidisciplinary approach to treating pediatric CRPS. Yet, there is limited evidence detailing these OT interventions. This review aimed to explore the existing literature on OT interventions and delivery methods for pediatric CRPS. We performed a scoping review of peer-reviewed articles that included pediatric participants with CRPS with no limitation on publication date. Most of the 11 included studies described OT interventions that addressed pain, functional disability, motor and sensory function, social participation, and psychological well-being. Interventions included sensory reeducation programs, exercises, functional use of affected extremities, psychoeducation, and client and family education. To facilitate engagement in meaningful occupations, OT practitioners treating pediatric CRPS should provide evidence-based interventions and age-appropriate client education and include caregivers in the care plan.
