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...

Interventions for treating pain and disability in adults with complex regional pain syndrome- an overview of systematic reviews
CONCLUSIONS: Despite a considerable increase in included evidence compared with the previous version of this overview, we identified no high-certainty evidence for the effectiveness of any therapy for CRPS. Until larger, high-quality trials are undertaken, formulating an evidence-based approach to managing CRPS will remain difficult. Current non-Cochrane systematic reviews of interventions for CRPS are of low methodological quality and should not be relied upon to provide an accurate and comprehensive summary of the evidence.PMID:37306570 | PMC:PMC10259367 | DOI:10.1002/14651858.CD009416.pub3

Commentary on: A randomised placebo-controlled clinical trial on the efficacy of local lidocaine injections and oral citalopram for the treatment of Complex Regional Pain Syndrome
The diagnosis and management of complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is controversial and fraught with uncertainty. There is no consensus about optimum management, and it could be that a range of different condition is being grouped under a common diagnosis, which in any event should always be a diagnosis of exclusion.

A randomised placebo-controlled clinical trial on the efficacy of local lidocaine injections and oral citalopram for the treatment of Complex Regional Pain Syndrome
Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) is a neuropathic pain condition with no universally recognised treatment. The study evaluates the efficacy of a therapeutic protocol consisting of oral citalopram and lidocaine injections in patients affected by CRPS.

Sensors, Vol. 21, Pages 3573: Quantitative Analysis of Real-Time Infrared Thermography for the Assessment of Lumbar Sympathetic Blocks: A Preliminary Study
d Moratal
Lumbar sympathetic blocks (LSBs) are commonly performed to treat pain ailments in the lower limbs. LSBs involve injecting local anesthetic around the nerves. The injection is guided by fluoroscopy which is sometimes considered to be insufficiently accurate. The main aim was to analyze the plantar foot skin temperature data acquired while performing LSBs in patients with complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) affecting the lower limbs. Forty-four LSBs for treating lower limb CRPS in 13 patients were assessed. Pain medicine physicians visualized the infrared thermography (IRT) video in real time and classified t...

Botulinum Toxin A: A Novel Therapeutic Modality for Upper Extremity Chronic Regional Pain Syndrome
Conclusion:
Despite the esoteric etiology of CRPS, BTX-A has a well-demonstrated mechanism of effect. BTX-A should be further explored as a treatment modality for CRPS.

Complex Regional Pain Syndrome: What the Dermatologist Should Know.
Authors: Qureshi AA, Friedman AJ
Abstract
Reflex sympathetic dystrophy is a subtype of complex regional pain syndrome, a condition characterized by persistent post-injury extremity pain. Temperature and sweating changes, edema, mobility changes, and a variety of hair, nail, and skin sequelae have been described. Only 23 articles published since 1990 describe dermatologic changes in CRPS. Given this paucity of literature, we present a case to further elucidate cutaneous manifestations of CRPS. Our patient is a 52-year-old Caucasian woman with a 19-year history of reflex sympathetic dystrophy who has presented with s...

Systemic Intravenous Lidocaine for the Treatment of Complex Regional Pain Syndrome: A Case Report and Literature Review
Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) was described in 1864 by Mitchell et al as a condition characterized by many unique symptoms. Although symptoms may differ from patient to patient, the most common complaints are painful swelling in upper or lower extremities or changes in the skin. CRPS has been given many different names since it was first mentioned in the literature in 1851. The most common alternative names include causalgia, aglodystrophy, and sympathetic dystrophy syndrome. This condition is generally diagnosed in older adults because of trauma, nerve damage, and coronary artery disease; however, there are cases ...

Intravenous Therapies for Complex Regional Pain Syndrome: A Systematic Review.
Abstract
Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) remains a challenging clinical pain condition. Multidisciplinary approaches have been advocated for managing CRPS. Compared with spinal cord stimulation and intrathecal targeted therapy, IV treatments are less invasive and less costly. We aimed to systemically review the literature on IV therapies and determine the level of evidence to guide the management of CRPS. We searched PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and the Cochrane databases for articles published on IV therapies of CRPS up through February 2015. The search yielded 299 articles, of which 101 were deemed relevant by ...

(398) Flare of CRPS symptoms after lidocaine infusion
Lidocaine infusion has been used for a number of years to treat sympathetically maintained chronic pain conditions including complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS). Therapeutic lidocaine infusion works by desensitizing the pain pathways in both the central and peripheral nervous systems via blocking voltage-dependent sodium channels. Adverse effects for lidocaine infusion are common, ranging from general fatigue, somnolence, periorbital and extremity numbness and tingling to arrhythmias, seizures, confusion, or even death.
