Thinking about movement hurts: The effect of motor imagery on pain and swelling in people with chronic arm pain

2008

Objective: Chronic painful disease is associated with pain on movement, which is presumed to be caused by noxious stimulation. We investigated whether motor imagery, in the absence of movement, increases symptoms in patients with chronic arm pain. Methods: Thirty‐seven subjects performed a motor imagery task. Pain and swelling were measured before, after, and 60 minutes after the task. Electromyography findings verified no muscle activity. Patients with complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) were compared with those with non‐CRPS pain. Secondary variables from clinical, psychophysical, and cognitive domains were related to change in symptoms using linear regression. Results: Motor imagery in…

Dysynchiria is not a common feature of neuropathic pain

2006

Patients with chronic neuropathic pain (non-CRPS) and brush-evoked allodynia watched a reflected image of their corresponding but opposite skin region being brushed in a mirror. Unlike complex regional pain syndrome Type 1, this process did not evoke any sensation at the affected area ('dysynchiria'). We conclude that central nociceptive sensitisation alone is not sufficient to cause dysynchiria in neuropathic pain. The results imply a difference in cortical pain processing between complex regional pain syndrome and other chronic neuropathic pain.

Standards for the diagnosis and management of complex regional pain syndrome: Results of a European Pain Federation task force.

2019

Background: Complex regional pain syndrome is a painful and disabling post-traumatic primary pain disorder. Acute and chronic complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) are major clinical challenges. In Europe, progress is hampered by significant heterogeneity in clinical practice. We sought to establish standards for the diagnosis and management of CRPS. Methods: The European Pain Federation established a pan-European task force of experts in CRPS who followed a four-stage consensus challenge process to produce mandatory quality standards worded as grammatically imperative (must-do) statements. Results: We developed 17 standards in 8 areas of care. There are 2 standards in diagnosis, 1 in multi…
