First seen Jan 12, 2026 · Last updated Jun 14, 2026 · Updated 22 times
Summary
This study tested whether mirror therapy—a technique using visual feedback from a mirror to trick the brain—works better than routine physical therapy for people with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), a chronic pain condition often after injury. Fifty-two adults aged 40-65 with CRPS in the hand after a stroke took part. The goal was to see if mirror therapy could reduce pain, spasticity, and improve strength more than standard exercises alone.
