Altered Neurocognitive Processing of Tactile Stimuli in Patients with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS)

• Slower response times (RTs) during digit discrimination in CRPS patients.• RTs correlate with late-latency tactile processing in supplementary motor area.• This P300-like activity is paradoxically related to better limb functioning.• Responses in parietal lobe are decreased in CRPS regardl ess of task demands.
