Near-infrared Spectroscopic Measurement in Complex Regional Pain Syndrome

NCT01586377 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 20

Last updated 2013-07-03

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Recent clinical investigations have suggested that the cause of abnormal pain in complex regional pain syndrome could be ischemia and inflammation, due to poor blood flow to deep tissues from microvascular pathology. This study aims to determine if a new technology called near infrared spectroscopy can measure this microvascular dysfunction. The study hypothesizes that significant differences can be measured in the microcirculation of patients with CRPS-I using near infrared spectroscopy and the vascular occlusion test.
