Summary

The aim is to study another alternative for the treatment of pain in people with CRPS. Indeed, the TRAB / Medullary occupational therapy department of the CMRRF in Kerpape used compression garments to reduce edema when it was present.In the case of CRPS of the upper limbs, gloves or compression sleeves are used to decrease the edema which is sometimes associated, although they are not supported for this indication. In this context, our clinical experience leads us to believe that there would also be some efficacy in neuropathic pain, this improvement being regularly described by patients.This study is expected to show a notable reduction in neuropathic pain thanks to the wearing of a compression garment.

Conditions

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	usual treatment with compression garments (CERECARE)	For 3 months, the pain will be assessed every week, tolerance and compliance with compression garments will also be monitored. Participants will be reviewed specifically at a follow-up consultation for the 6-month and 1-year study. Various assessments will be carried out during these visits : assessment of pain, range of motion, muscle strength, sensitivity test, assessment of anxiety, depression and even quality of life.
OTHER	usual treatment without compression garments (CERECARE)	For 3 months, the pain will be assessed every week, tolerance and compliance with compression garments will also be monitored.
