ABOUT COLOR THE WORLD ORANGE DAY®
Color the World Orange Day®, observed on the first Monday of November, is an annual event dedicated to raising awareness and understanding of Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), a chronic pain condition. The day brings global attention to CRPS, also known as Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD), and seeks to support those who suffer from this debilitating condition.
CRPS includes severe, persistent pain that typically affects one limb after an injury but can spread to other body parts. The pain is often described as a burning or "pins and needles" sensation and is usually disproportionate to the severity of the initial injury. The cause of CRPS is not well understood, and there is no cure, making awareness and support critical for those living with the condition.
Color the World Orange Day® was initiated by a group of CRPS patients and their supporters who sought to create a unified day of awareness across the globe. The color orange was chosen for its brightness and visibility, symbolizing hope and strength in a challenging condition.
Participants often wear orange clothing, organize events, and share information about CRPS on social media using the hashtag #CRPSORANGEDAY. Iconic landmarks are also lit in orange to show solidarity with CRPS sufferers.
This global event offers an opportunity to educate the public about CRPS, advocate for more research and better treatment options, and provide community support for those affected. The day emphasizes the need for early diagnosis and effective management, which can significantly improve the quality of life for those with CRPS.
Color the World Orange Day® also aims to foster a better understanding of CRPS among healthcare professionals. Education and awareness can lead to improved care, empathy, and support for patients who often face challenges in finding effective treatment and understanding from others.
