    Congenital insensitivity to pain with anhidrosis (CIPA) is a rare disease which mainly affects infants, children and adolescents. As an autosomal recessive disorder, CIPA is also known as familial autonomic dysfunction type 2. The diagnosis of CIPA mainly relies on clinical observation and genetic testing. Currently there is lack of effective treatment, and it is mainly treated by cooling, anti-inflammatory and strengthened guardianization. This article has reviewed the literature and summarized the research on CIPA and progress made in its diagnosis and treatment, with an aim to improve the understanding of this disorder.
