Brain exercises for complex regional pain syndrome
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years old or older.
- You must have complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) in one arm only.
- You must have been diagnosed with CRPS using the Budapest criteria.
- You must not have tried graded motor imagery before.
- You must be able to read and speak French comfortably.
- You must be comfortable using a smartphone for the exercises.

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 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 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 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 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.
