What is Congenital Insensitivity to Pain with Anhidrosis (CIPA)?
Congenital Insensitivity to Pain with Anhidrosis (CIPA) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by the inability to feel pain and the absence of sweat production (anhidrosis). This condition is also known as hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathy type IV (HSAN IV). Individuals with CIPA are unable to sense pain, which can lead to severe injuries and complications.
