| Abstract: | Background Complex Regional Pain Syndrome type one (CRPS I) or formerly Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD) is a disabling syndrome, in
which a painful limb is accompanied by varying symptoms. Neuropathic pain is a prominent feature of CRPS I, and is often refractory
to treatment. Since gabapentin is an anticonvulsant with a proven analgesic effect in various neuropathic pain syndromes,
we sought to study the efficacy of the anticonvulsant gabapentin as treatment for pain in patients with CRPS I. |
