Summary

Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) / Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) is a chronic neurological disorder that affects the extremities and is characterized by disabling pain, swelling, vasomotor instability, sudomotor abnormality, and impaired motor function; the duration and clinical magnitude is greater than expected, being divided into three stages of progression over time: Stage I: acute (0-3 months); Stage II: dystrophic (3-9 months); Stage 3: atrophic (9-18 months).

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect on complex pain syndrome using a conventional care protocol plus the application of non-invasive neuromodulation during compared to the effect of the same protocol plus placebo.

Conditions

  • Type I Complex Regional Pain Syndrome

Interventions

DEVICE

Non-invasive Neuromodulation

The electrodes will be placed with the help of gloves and adapted socks for 1 hour, twice a week, until 20 intervention sessions are completed. In addition, depending on the session, an adhesive electrode will be placed at the level of C7. Characteristics of microcurrents: pulsed monophasic rectangular wave with a pulse of 1.3 s and pause of 300 ms, voltage 3 millivolt and intensity 0.5 μA.
