Mirror-therapy: An important tool in the management of Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS)

摘要

In this issue of the Scandinavian Journal of Pain Al Sayegh and co-workers, with Stephen Butler as senior author, review mirror therapy for CRPS, reminding us of the diagnostic criteria of CRPS in describing the successful outcome of a long-standing (6 years!) case with this baffling pain condition. Only after mirror-therapy was added to the management programme with focus on motor-neglect-symptoms did her CRPS resolve, bringing the patient back to a near normal life without pain and motor-dysfunction.
