Filter by:Nearly 2 out of 10 women will sustain a distal forearm fracture throughout their lifespan.Recent longitudinal studies illustrate that as many as 1/3 of all persons who undergo closed reduction and casting for distal radius fractures (DRF) go on to develop type 1 complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS). Graded motor imagery (i.e., motor imagery and mirror therapy), a movement representation technique, is strongly supported in the literature as a treatment of CRPS and has recently been suggested as a potential strategy to prevent its onset. Other complications include disability, wrist/forearm tightness and sensorimotor changes. The investigators propose that an early intervention protocol which includes graded motor imagery (GMI) will improve the pain, functional and upper limb sensorimotor outcomes of persons following closed reduction and casting of DRF relative to a standard of care intervention.
The intention of this trial is to investigate whether combined Graded Motor Imagery (GMI) and Desensitization (D) among patients with CRPS is clinically more effective than only D and to study changes in connectivity in the Default Mode Network before and after treatment.
This study compares the efficacy of the ultrasound with fluoroscope in guidance of lumbar sympathetic block (LSB). The goals of the study are; 1) To show that US-guided LSB results in shorter performance time compared to fluoroscope-guided LSB, 2) To evaluate the efficacy and safety of US-guided LSB, and 3) To verify that US-guided LSB has similar success rates to fluoroscope-guided LSB. 50 patients who are supposed to undergo LSB due to sympathetically maintained pain, satisfy criteria of inclusion and exclusion, and voluntarily sign the informed consent will be enrolled.
The investigators are testing treatment with low-dose naltrexone (LDN) for symptom relief of complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS). Study participants will be randomly assigned to receive either LDN or placebo for a period of several weeks. During this period participants will be asked to attend either in-person or virtual study visits and complete questionnaires.
The aim of this study is to evaluate feasibility of a proprioceptive stimulation under visual feedback treatment protocol (using Gloreha® device) compared to usual physiotherapy treatment in sub-acute stroke patient with Complex regional pain syndrome.
Vitamin C with its antioxidant role has many indications. The objective of this study is to demonstrate that taking vitamin C as a preventive significantly reduces the occurrence of complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) type 1 in the aftermath of a scheduled surgery of the upper limb.
The purpose of this study is to test a specific nerve stimulation protocol as therapeutic option in patients diagnosed with CRPS (complex regional pain syndrome) of the upper extremity.
This is a double-blind randomized controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy of the sympathetic block via thoracic vertebra T3 for the treatment of CRPS I upper limb. Patients with CRPS I refractory to medical treatment will be subjected to four physical therapy sessions and then the randomized for experimental or control block and then more four physiotherapy sessions. Patients will be evaluated after one month of the blockade (primary outcome) and then up to 12 months. Will be evaluated by analgesic scale (Mcgill, brief pain inventory, dn4 questionnaire, NPSI, VAS), functional (ADM) and quality of life (HAD and WHOQOL-brief).
The purpose of this study is to investigated and evaluated the effectiveness of a new surgical technique for the treatment of severe chronic pain stages (Complex Regional Pain Syndrome Type II).
This study aims to compare the alternative current and the direct current signal changes of photoplethysmography between both feet during one side lumbar sympathetic block. The hypothesis is that signal changes occur earlier than other indices to decide whether it is successful following lumbar sympathetic block on only one-side.
