Surgery offers new hope for chronic pain sufferers
NCT ID NCT07263256
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested surgery to treat Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) in the upper limb. 74 adults with CRPS who had not improved with other treatments received either nerve decompression or correction of a specific structural problem. Pain levels were measured before surgery, at 10-12 days, and at three months to see how much and how quickly pain changed.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Surgery (median nerve decompression and lesion-specific correction)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this surgical approach could offer a new way to reduce pain for people with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome who haven't improved with other treatments.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, completed study without a control group, so results may not apply to everyone. Surgery carries risks like infection or nerve damage, and pain relief may not last.
