First seen Nov 03, 2025 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 27 times

Summary

This study looks at whether using a closed-loop spinal cord stimulator early (when pain first starts) works better for Complex Regional Pain Syndrome than waiting until the pain becomes long-term. About 32 adults with CRPS in one arm or leg will get the device and be followed for 6 months. Researchers will measure pain severity, device settings, and a blood marker linked to pain.
