Journal Article
Rodham, K., Boxell, E., McCabe, C., Cockburn, M., & Waller, E. (2012). Transitioning from a hospital rehabilitation programme to home: Exploring the experiences of people with complex regional pain syndrome. Psychology and Health, 27(10), 1150-1165. https://doi.org/10.1080/08870446.2011.647820

Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is difficult to diagnose and is characterised by burning pain in one or more limbs. Treatment is palliative not curative and focuses on improving function. This requires patients to make long-term changes to thei...

Cortical reorganisation of sensory, motor and autonomic systems can lead to dysfunctional central integrative control. This may contribute to signs and symptoms of Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), including pain. It has been hypothesised that c...

Background: Visual disturbance, visuo-spatial difficulties, and exacerbations of pain associated with these, have been reported by some patients with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS). Aims: We investigated the hypothesis that some visual stimuli... Read More about Pain and other symptoms of CRPS can be increased by ambiguous visual stimuli - An exploratory study.

Wherever is my arm? Impaired upper limb position accuracy in Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (2010)
