Primary sensorimotor cortex is modified by a 6 week graded motor imagery training in chronic CRPS patients: a randomized trial

Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) shows severe painful symptoms of the affected body part (for a concise description of symptoms and pathophysiology see 6) and has an incidence rate of approximately 26 per 100,000 person years33. Because of its high rate of chronification, powerful treatment options are needed. Longitudinal intervention studies with neurophysiological and imaging control can help to understand treatment gain and underlying brain changes.
