Nerve block plus physical therapy for upper-limb CRPS
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This study checks whether a combined treatment—numbing nerve blocks plus physical therapy—is safe and doable for people with CRPS in the arm. It may help reduce pain and improve movement while seeing how well the approach can be carried out.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older
- Your CRPS in your arm meets the Budapest criteria (a specific CRPS diagnosis checklist)

- You do not have an allergy to local numbing medicine (local anesthetic)
- You do not have an allergy to chlorhexidine (used to clean skin before procedures)
- You do not have an infection where the injection would be given

This study tests whether Botox injected near nerves in the upper back can help reduce pain for people with complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) in one arm or hand. The goal is to offer longer-lasting relief than standard treatments.
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.
This study tests a nerve block (called an erector spinae plane block) for pain in the neck, shoulder, or arm. Researchers will check if it affects the size of the nerve sheath in your eye, which may show how well the block works.
This trial compares two different ultrasound-guided methods of numbing the nerves in your upper arm and shoulder for surgery on your hand, wrist, or forearm. The goal is to see which technique works better and is safer for patients.
This study tests whether a specially targeted injection of botulinum toxin (like Botox) around nerves can help reduce pain from CRPS. It aims to see if the treatment is safe and doable for people with long-lasting CRPS.
This trial tests if an intravenous medicine called AMBTX-01 (neridronate) can help people with early-stage Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) type 1. It focuses on those whose affected limb feels warm, looks red, and is swollen.
