Graded Motor Imagery and the Impact on Pain Processing in a Case of CRPS
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: Graded motor imagery (GMI) shows promising results for patients with complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS).
METHODS: In a case with chronic unilateral CRPS type I, we applied GMI for 6 weeks and recorded clinical parameters and cerebral activation using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI; pre-GMI, after each GMI block, and after 6 mo).
