Fixed dystonia in complex regional pain syndrome: a descriptive and computational modelling approach

Efficacy of intrathecal baclofen on different pain qualities in complex regional pain syndrome.

BACKGROUND Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is characterized by severe debilitating chronic pain. Patients with CRPS may experience various pain sensations, which likely embody different pathophysiologic mechanisms. In this study, we evaluated the differential effects of central γ-aminobutyric acid (B) receptor stimulation on the different pain qualities in CRPS patients with dystonia. M...

The Symptom Checklist-90 Revised questionnaire: no psychological profiles in complex regional pain syndrome-dystonia.

Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is a syndrome usually localized in the extremities, mostly occurring after a preceding trauma or operation. Dystonia is present in a minority of CRPS patients, but, when present, leads to severe disability. Various pathological factors have been postulated to present in CRPS-dystonia, such as involvement of the sympathetic system, reorganization of the cent...

Complex Regional Pain Syndrome with Associated Chest Wall Dystonia: a Case Report. Study Design: Case Report

Patients with complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) often suffer from an array of associated movement disorders, including dystonia of an affected limb. We present a case of a patient with long standing CRPS after a brachial plexus injury, who after displaying several features of the movement disorder previously, developed painful dystonia of chest wall musculature. Detailed neurologic examinat...
