NCT ID NCT07370012
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether wearing prism goggles during pointing exercises can reduce pain in people with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) type I. Fifty-four patients with CRPS after a wrist fracture or surgery were split into two groups: one used real prism goggles, the other used sham goggles. Both groups also received standard physical therapy. The goal was to see if prism adaptation therapy could lower pain intensity and improve other symptoms like joint movement.
