Botox nerve block for arm pain in CRPS
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 19 and 80 years old
- You have complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) in one arm or hand
- Your arm or hand pain is at least 4 out of 10 on a pain scale
- You have been on the same dose of pain medications for at least 4 weeks
- You have never had an allergic reaction to Botox or similar numbing medicines

Other trials that look related to this one.
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.
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 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 compares two injection treatments for chronic nerve pain (neuroma pain) that develops after combat-related limb amputation. You would receive either botulinum toxin (Botox) or a local anesthetic injection to see which better relieves your pain.
This study tests if freezing specific nerves (cryoneurolysis) can reduce pain caused by muscle tightness (spasticity) after a brain or spinal cord injury, or from multiple sclerosis. It is for people who already get Botox injections for this pain.
This trial tests two ways of injecting botulinum toxin (a medication that relaxes muscles and reduces nerve pain) directly into painful nerve tissue that forms after combat-related amputation. The goal is to find which injection technique works better for chronic neuroma pain—the painful scar tissue that can develop at amputation sites.
