Mirror therapy in complex regional pain syndrome type 1 of the upper limb in stroke patients.
BACKGROUND Complex regional pain syndrome type 1 (CRPSt1) of the upper limb is a painful and debilitating condition, frequent after stroke, and interferes with the rehabilitative process and outcome. However, treatments used for CRPSt1 of the upper limb are limited. OBJECTIVE . This randomized controlled study was conducted to compare the effectiveness on pain and upper limb function of mirro...
متن کاملComplex Regional Pain Syndrome of Non-hemiplegic Upper Limb in a Stroke Patient: A Case Report
Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) type I in stroke patients is usually known to affect the hemiplegic upper limb. We report a case of CRPS presented in an ipsilesional arm of a 72-year-old female patient after an ischemic stroke at the left middle cerebral artery territory. Clinical signs such as painful range of motion and hyperalgesia of her left upper extremity, swollen left hand, and dy...
متن کاملSuccessful reversal of complex regional pain syndrome type 1 of both upper extremities in five patients.
Bilateral complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) appears to be unusual [1–5]. We report details of bilateral CRPS diagnosed by International Association for Study of Pain (IASP) criteria in five patients who presented with florid symptoms (more prominent in one extremity) that persisted despite physical therapy (PT) and medications (Figure 1). They were effectively treated with a novel multimoda...
متن کاملUpper limb activity over time in complex regional pain syndrome type 1 as objectively measured with an upper limb-activity monitor: an explorative multiple case study.
BACKGROUND An upper limb-activity monitor (ULAM) has been developed to determine activity limitations in complex regional pain syndrome type 1 (CRPS1). The ULAM is based on 24h ambulatory monitoring of body segment accelerations and enables valid and objective quantification of mobility and upper limb activity in transversal studies. AIMS To explore upper limb activity over time in acute uppe...
متن کاملStroke, complex regional pain syndrome and phantom limb pain: can commonalities direct future management?
Despite being different conditions, complex regional pain syndrome type 1, phantom limb pain and stroke share some potentially important similarities. This report examines experimental and clinical findings from each patient population. It identifies common aspects of symptomatic presentation, sensory phenomena and patterns of cortical reorganization. Based on these common findings, we argue th...
