Dancing around the hexaflex: Using ACT in practice 5
Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) can be slippery to describe. It’s an approach that doesn’t aim to change thought content, but instead to help us shift the way we relate to what our mind tells us. It’s also an approach focused on workability: pragmatic and context-specific analysis of how well a strategy is working to achieve being able to do what matters. Over the next few posts I want to give some examples of how non-psychologists can use ACT in session (remember ACT is open for anyone to use it!). Values: Qualities of living Oh so much has been written about values…Values bring meaning to what w...

rTMS targeted to the secondary somatosensory cortex influences sleep in CRPS patients, as measured with the OURA ring
ConclusionS2-targeted rTMS influenced sleep in patients with CRPS. Improved sleep may enhance CRPS symptom alleviation and be of clinical importance. A univariate analysis could separate the rTMS and sham treatments. The multivariate analysis revealed that including multiple sleep-related parameters can be beneficial when analyzing rTMS effects on sleep. As sleep is related both to pain and quality of life, and sleep rTMS can be directly affected by rTMS, objective monitoring of sleep in various future rTMS trials could be fruitful.

Virtual reality in managing Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS): a scoping review
ConclusionsWe describe the results found in 7 articles that focus on the treatment of CRPS with VR modalities. Overall, the articles have various limitations, but the strategies related to immersive virtual reality, cardiac signaling, body switching and limb modulation have shown the most promising results for pain reduction and BPD improvement. These strategies reflect on pathophysiological mechanisms that are hypothesized to be affected in CRPS patients leading to the chronic pain and BPD that they experience. Not much evidence was found for improvement in limb movement and daily function. This review is a pathway for fu...

Baseline predictors related to functional outcomes in patients older than sixty years with complex regional pain syndrome type 1 after distal radius fracture treated conservatively: a prospective observational study
ConclusionAt six weeks, factors such as BMI, immobilization time, physical activity, and kinesiophobia are associated with lower functional outcomes. Additionally, at one  year follow-up, BMI, immobilization time, and physical activity continue to be associated with lower functional outcomes in patients with CRPS I after DRF treated conservatively.

Local subcutaneous lidocaine injection for the treatment of complex regional pain syndrome: a case report and literature review
A 14-year-old child was diagnosed with complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) after bromhidrosis surgery. She experienced a stinging, knife-like, and intermittent attack pain, accompanied by numbness of both upper limbs and limited movements. Ultrasound-guided radiofrequency surgery on the peripheral nerve did not reduce pain. Then, gabapentin 300 mg three times a day and 2% lidocaine by local subcutaneous injection once a day for 3 days were administrated. After the local subcutaneous injection of lidocaine, the pain was significantly relieved, and the pain induced by skin touch at the scar disappeared. No pain recurred af...

Complex Regional Pain Syndrome: Evidence-Based Advances in Concepts and Treatments
AbstractPurpose of ReviewThis review presents the most current information about the epidemiology of complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), classification and diagnostic criteria, childhood CRPS, subtypes, pathophysiology, conventional and less conventional treatments, and preventive strategies.Recent FindingsCRPS is a painful disorder with multifactorial pathophysiology. The data describe sensitization of the central and peripheral nervous systems, inflammation, possible genetic factors, sympatho-afferent coupling, autoimmunity, and mental health factors as contributors to the syndrome. In addition to conventional subtype...

Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) and the Value of Early Detection
AbstractPurpose of ReviewThe goal of this narrative review is to describe the current understanding of the pathology of Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), as well as diagnostic standards and therapeutic options. We will then make the case for early recognition and management.Recent FindingsCRPS remains an enigmatic pain syndrome, comprising several subtypes. Recent recommendations clarify diagnostic ambiguities and emphasize the importance of standardized assessment and therapy.SummaryAwareness of CRPS should be raised to promote prevention, early detection, and rapid escalation of therapy in refractory cases. Comorbid...
