Summary

Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is a condition marked by pain that may occur spontaneously or in response to stimuli, often disproportionate to the initial injury.(Chae, 2010). In post-stroke complex regional pain syndrome, patients often have simultaneous shoulder and wrist pain. Symptoms may include edema, increased warmth in the hand, and limited in upper extremity joints. (Yu, 2009).The significance of post-stroke complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) lies not only in its profound impact on pain perception but also in its broader effects on patients' quality of life.(de mos et al.,2007) Managing complex regional pain syndrome involves a multidisciplinary approach with key physical therapy elements like elevation, massage, range of motion exercises, strengthening, and sensory re-education.(Sethy et al., 2017). Electrotherapy modalities include transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation. (Palmer, 2015). This includes heat treatments like ultrasound, hot and cold packs, and fluidotherapy
