Filter by:CRPS is a complex pain condition that usually develops in response to trauma and immobilization which is very painful and debilitating. There is no consensus about the underlying mechanisms which might be a combination of mentally and physically factors. At the moment, better diagnostic clarification and better pain relieving treatment is needed. The aim of this study is to investigate changes in the perception of pain in patients with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), and whether this perception can be affected by treatment with transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) on the painful area. The study will consist of two parts. One in which patients' perception of pain will be compared to the perception of pain in healthy controls. Another in which the included patients are randomly allocated into a group receiving medical treatment plus treatment with transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation on the painful area or in a group receiving medical treatment as usual (MED).Patients will be evaluated four times. At the start of the study, immediately after treatment, and again at 6 and 12 months after treatment. The evaluation consists of an overall assessment of pain, response to standardized sensory stimuli, and questionnaires about quality of life, physical capacity and mentally/socially well-being.
This study will examine whether a form of non-invasive brain stimulation can help reduce pain in people with persistent neuropathic pain.
Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) is a constellation of pain symptoms which are associated with impairment in mood, social and physical function. Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS), a technique of placing electrodes into the epidural space is a validated treatment for Complex Regional Pain Syndrome . Treatment of CRPS with SCS, in combination with physical therapy, reduced pain to a greater degree than physical therapy alone. 40%-50% of CRPS patients achieve >50% pain relief with SCS using dorsal column stimulation . Dorsal Root Ganglion (DRG) SCS has also recently demonstrated clinical efficacy in patients with CRPS and peripheral causalgia . The hypothesis is that DRG stimulation is non-inferior to dorsal column SCS in patients with CRPS who have failed to respond to a course of analgesics and physical therapy. The aim to assess functional, quality of life, patient satisfaction and medication requirements in subjects treated with neuromodulation for CRPS and contrast outcomes amongst subjects treated with DRG SCS and dorsal column SCS.
The aim of this trial was to investigate the efficacy and safety of intravenous neridronic acid in subjects with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS). The trial consisted of an Enrollment Period lasting up to 60 days, Treatment Period A consisting of 4 infusions (neridronic acid 100 mg or placebo) over 10 days, and a Follow-up Period 1 until Week 26. At Week 26, participants meeting the pre-specified criteria entered the open-label Treatment Period B with 4 additional infusions (neridronic acid) over 10 days and follow-up visits until Week 52. Participants not meeting the pre-specified criteria to continue into Treatment Period B continued in Follow-up Period 2 until Week 52.

ACTIVE study- a prospective observational clinical study examining the changes in quality of life and pain following dorsal root ganglion stimulation for the treatment of chronic intractable pelvic and lower limb pain.
Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is a disease provoking chronic pain in the limbs, following a trauma. Patient care is complicated by the variable clinical picture and response to treatment. The stress level of the organization, for chronic pain impacts the regulation of the autonomic balance. The study of time and frequency domain analysis of Heart Rate Variability (HRV) allows non-invasive and reproducible assessment of the autonomic balance.
AlgoMIR project born thanks to a meeting between pain professionals and re-education staff. The goal of this project is to develop and evaluate a program of learning with exercises by mirror therapy, that could be easily shared with paramedic teams and easily adapted to different handicaps. Researchers have chosen to select patients with re-education of the upper extremity to benefit from rehabilitation sessions either from physiotherapists present in their city, or of functional rehabilitation hospital units.
This study is an open-label study to determine the feasibility of Motor Cortex Stimulation (MCS) in the treatment of patients with chronic pain of the face or upper extremity. MCS will be delivered by use of an electrode and pulse generator, which are FDA approved for spinal cord stimulation but are not approved for MCS. The study has as a single-arm design with the subject at baseline serving as a control for the response to MCS.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether epidural and ketamine infusions are effective in the treatment of Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS).
