CRPS is just the CNS becoming hypersensitive to light touch and other sensations and interpreting this information as extremely painful. Has anyone discovered the exact mechanism of this condition as yet? Last time I looked into it the jury was still out on the matter.
I have heard a theory that suggests you overload the area with the exact same stimulus that will set it off, Light touch, hot & cold, pin pricks etc. and that this will desensitise the hypersensitivity. I have been told by a few different people that this treatment protocol has worked in decreasing the symptoms in their patients. A quick google search didnt find any papers or information on this theory, and obviously more research needs to be done on the matter and I find this condition in particular quite fascinating. Keep me updated as you progress with whatever treatment you use.
