Abstract

Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) is a Neuropathic Pain (Neu-P) Syndrome that lacks clear comprehension and could potentially have diverse causal origins. The occurrence of this syndrome following trauma is frequent, as reported in the literature. We report a patient with a history of spinal cord injury at C6/7 & C7/T1 levels in RTA, who underwent cervical spine fixation surgery, and developed hyperalgesia, allodynia, edema, and color changes in the upper limb 3-4 weeks after surgery. A multimodal therapeutic technique was implemented in the present study, incorporating a stellate ganglion block intervention, which resulted in notable benefits. These benefits included a reduction in pain scores and an improvement in mobility of the affected limb.
