Treating CRPS-Associated Neuropathic Pain With EGF Receptor Inhibition
A single infusion of cetuximab was not associated with relief from therapy-resistant neuropathic pain.
Complex Regional Pain Syndrome
High-Frequency Peripheral Nerve Stimulation May Effectively Treat Chronic Pain
Peripheral nerve stimulation at 10 KHz was found to be efficacious in reducing chronic pain.
Intrathecal Drug Delivery Systems May Be Ineffective for Complex Regional Pain Syndrome
Intrathecal drug delivery systems may be ineffective in reducing pain and oral opioid intake in individuals with complex regional pain syndrome.
Interdisciplinary Pain Management Program for Complex Regional Pain Syndrome
Interdisciplinary pain management programs incorporate physical and occupational therapy, pain psychology, medication management, and biofeedback.
Novel Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Protocol May Be Effective in CRPS
The use of a novel frequency pairing for transcranial magnetic stimulation may effectively relieve upper and lower extremity pain associated with complex regional pain syndrome.
Weighted Score May Help in Diagnosing CRPS
Researchers have developed a weighted score that may be useful in the differential diagnosis of complex regional pain syndrome.
Ketamine Infusion May Be Effective for the Short-Term Relief of CRPS-Associated Pain
Ketamine infusion may provide short-term pain relief for patients with complex regional pain syndrome.
Brain Plasticity in Patients With Complex Regional Pain Syndrome
Patients diagnosed with complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) demonstrate significant structural and functional brain changes in regions associated with movement and pain.
DRG Stimulation Superior to Spinal Cord Stimulation for Lower Extremity Pain
Dorsal root ganglion stimulation is more likely than spinal cord stimulation to provide pain relief in patients with neuropathic pain conditions affecting the lower extremities.
Effectiveness of Outpatient Program in Managing Complex Pain
Patients who learn to manage their pain with CBT and exercise can reduce pain levels.
