Interventionelle Maßnahmen beim Therapieren eines CRPS: Welche Therapie ist evidenzbasiert?

Initial the therapy of a CRPS is based on functional procedures like physiotherapy. In the acute phase medication with steroids and bisphosphonats got their place. If the syndrome prolongs psychological, comorbidities had to be evaluated and treated. Additionally invasive procedures can be proved. Sympathetic blocks and spinal cord stimulation are possibilities. The stimulation of the dorsal root ganglion shows even better results in newer studies than the SCS. Neurostimulation of peripheral nerves is only proved in case reports. The application of Baclofen intrathecal is recommended in cases of CRPS with dystonia. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
