Imaging and clinical evidence of sensorimotor problems in CRPS: Utilizing novel treatment approaches (2013)
Journal Article

Inflammation and altered autonomic function are diagnostic signs and symptoms of Complex Regional Pain Syndrome. In the acute stages these are commonly at their most florid accompanied by severe pain and reduced function. Understandably this has dire...

Clinical evidence of parietal cortex dysfunction and correlation with extent of allodynia in CRPS type 1 (2013)
Journal Article

Background: Unusual symptoms such as digit misidentification and neglect-like phenomena have been reported in complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), which we hypothesized could be explained by parietal lobe dysfunction. Methods: Twenty-two patients w... Read More about Clinical evidence of parietal cortex dysfunction and correlation with extent of allodynia in CRPS type 1.
