Infrared imaging for nerve-stimulation pain in one leg
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be between 18 and 85 years old
- Have CRPS in one lower leg, meeting the Budapest CRPS diagnostic criteria
- Have had CRPS pain and symptoms for more than 3 months
- Have pain that hasn’t responded to usual treatments and a full team (multidisciplinary) approach
- Have strong pain right now, with a pain score (0–10) above 6 despite appropriate treatment
- MRI/CT and exam should not show other causes like disc herniation, spinal stenosis, nerve root problems, or spinal cord issues

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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 studies whether noninvasive brain stimulation (TMS) can reduce pain in people with complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS). It may help if your CRPS has lasted at least a few months and you can safely undergo the stimulation and study tasks.
This study is testing a new way to measure CRPS symptoms and other chronic pain in one arm or leg. It aims to help doctors better understand and treat your condition.
This trial studies a noninvasive stimulation treatment to help people with early-stage complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) type I. It may help calm nerve-related pain, especially soon after symptoms begin.
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.
