Filter by:The aim is to evaluate the efficacy of Mirror Therapy on pain reduction and hand function in subjects with unilateral upper extremity Complex Regional Pain Syndrome Type I.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about cognitive changes during rehabilitation in CRPS patients. The main questions it aims to answer are: - What are the cognitive changes in CRPS? - Do cognitive functions change during multimodal rehabilitation in CRPS? - What is the effect of multimodal rehabilitation on pain, functioning, mood, active range of motion, cognitive functions. Participants will undergo a 4-week program of multimodal rehabilitation of physical therapy, education and Graded Motor Imagery. Assessment will be made at baseline and after 4 weeks. Researchers will compare the interventional arm with healthy control to see if the observed psychological results are exclusive to CRPS group. There is no expanded access scheduled for this study.
This research proposal aims to investigate the potential use of Infrared (FLIR) imaging to monitor the successful achievement of the sympathetic blockade in patients with complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS).
This study aims to assess the longus colli muscle thickness by ultrasonography in order to guide stellate ganglion blocks
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate safety and efficacy of a new spinal cord stimulation paddle electrode which is able to target the dorsal horns, dorsal nerve roots, and dorsal columns. The research electrode ("Study Electrode") is designed to answer basic physiological clinical research questions. It may inform future device therapy development, but the Study Electrode is not a product that will be marketed or sold. The Investigators believe the protocol is a Non-Significant Risk study answering basic physiological research questions, which may be performed under hospital IRB approval.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of ultrasound-guided thoracic paravertebral block (TPVB) when performing sympathetic block for upper limb pain control.
To assess treatment with an at-home Virtual Reality Guided Imagery (VR-GI) intervention, 36 patients with chronic pain (18 with chronic back pain, CBP, and 18 with complex regional pain syndrome, CRPS) will complete a 2-week intervention with at-home daily practice of VR-GI (n = 24) or audio-only GI (n = 12). Pre-post treatment measures of pain intensity, opioid use, functional outcomes, and mood will be collected. Intervention feasibility and patient satisfaction will be evaluated post-treatment via questionnaire and qualitative interview.
To compare the effect of combined thoracic manipulation (TM) and traditional physical therapy treatment (TPT) versus TPT treatment alone on pain severity at rest and functional disability in patients with type 1 complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS I) post-upper limb trauma.
Medical functional imagery seems to demonstrate that patients suffering from complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) have cortical modifications that alter their motor (or mental) imagery capacities. Nowadays, the use of motor imagery exercises are used in conventional rehabilitation treatments. But, in clinical practice, no study has verified if patients with CRPS desmonstrate problems in their motor imagery capacities. The MIQ-RS (Motor Imagery Questionnaire - Revised Second) is a valid, reliable and translated into French questionnaire to measure patients' capacities to do mental imagery. In this study, we compare 3 groups of 50 patients : healthy patients, patients with CRPS and patients with musculoskeletal disorder without CRPS. Every patient will take the MIQ-RS for the right and left body side. We hypothesis that patients with CRPS have more deficit than the 2 others to realise motor imagery.
Complex regional pain syndrome, CRPS, is an uncommon but often very disabling chronic pain syndrome characterized by, beside pain: sensory disturbances, peripheral autonomic changes and inflammatory features. The diagnosis is subdivided in CRPS type 1 where no nerve injury has been identified, and CRPS type 2 when a major nerve injury has been verified. A combination of exposure in vivo, a form of behaviour therapy where the patient is gradually confronted with avoided movements and activities, and interventions directly targeting a hypothesized cortical reorganisation is an interesting novel approach for treating CRPS. The present study consists of (1) a qualitative interview study with 10-15 subjects that has received this form of treatment, in order to better understand their experience and effects of the treatment, and (2) a case series with long-term follow-up of 3-5 subjects that received the treatment för 5-8 years ago, in order to study the long term effects of the treatment.
