Graded motor imagery is effective for long-standing complex regional pain syndrome

Graded Motor Imagery for Chronic Pain View more documents from BodyIn Mind. Abstract Complex regional pain syndrome type 1 (CRPS1) involves cortical abnormalities similar to those observed in phantom pain and after stroke. In those groups, treatment is aimed at activation of cortical networks that subserve the affected limb, for example mirror … [Read more...]
