Scope & limitations
The scope is broader than CIPA; the index focuses on practical reference sections rather than a review of mechanistic research.
About these terms
- CIP
- Some resources use CIP (congenital insensitivity to pain) without the “anhidrosis” qualifier. Its scope is broader than CIPA, and this site does not treat the two as equivalent; where a resource is filed under CIP, its relationship to CIPA is stated in that record’s scope note.Based on: This site’s editorial handling (not a medical claim)
