Compression garments for arm nerve pain in CRPS
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests whether wearing a special compression sleeve or garment can reduce pain in people with complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) affecting the arm. It’s looking at pain changes while making sure it’s safe for your skin and blood flow.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have CRPS in the upper limb (arm/hand) with nerve-type pain, confirmed by set medical criteria
- Your CRPS has been going on for more than 3 months
- Your arm skin is healthy: no open sores and no phlebitis (blood-vessel inflammation)
- You can wear the compression garment safely (no skin problem that blocks wearing it, and you’re not allergic to the garment material)
- Your medicines haven’t changed in the last month
- You agree to join and can understand and report your pain (or you can give consent appropriately)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether a type of brain exercise, called graded motor imagery, can help reduce the feeling that your affected arm is not part of your body, which is common in complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS). It might help reduce pain and improve movement.
This trial tests a new type of spinal cord stimulator that automatically adjusts to your pain signals. It may help people with complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) who have not tried this kind of therapy before.
This study uses infrared images to help evaluate spinal cord stimulation for complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) when it affects one leg. It aims to see whether the imaging approach matches pain and treatment needs in people whose pain hasn’t improved with standard care.
This study tests whether injecting botulinum toxin (Botox) near nerves in the neck can reduce chronic arm or hand pain in people with complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS). It aims to see if this treatment can provide longer-lasting pain relief than a standard nerve block.
This trial tests if a gentle electric current applied to the scalp (called tDCS) can reduce pain in people with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), a chronic pain condition. It aims to see if this treatment is effective and safe for managing symptoms.
This study tests a comprehensive rehabilitation program for adults with complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), a chronic pain condition usually affecting one arm or leg. It looks at how the program affects pain and brain function, aiming to improve daily life.
