Summary

The aim of the study is to investigate the correlation between increased bone metabolism in the 3 phase bone scintigraphy (TPBS) and decreased pressure pain thresholds in patients with complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) of the upper limb and a non-CRPS-group. The investigators assume that there will be a significant correlation between the investigated values in the CRPS-group whereas the non-CRPS-group shows no significant correlation.

Conditions

  • Complex Regional Pain Syndrome Type I of the Upper Limb
  • Unilateral Limb Pain of Other Origin
  • Healthy Subjects

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Pressure Pain measurement

The pressure pain thresholds were established using a manual pressure algometer. The investigated joints were the carpus, the metacarpophalangeal and the proximal interphalangeal joints
