Objective: The object of this study is to evaluate the importance of a correct timing for surgery, the different strategies of therapy and the use of the neuromodulation in the Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) type II.
Patients and methods: The last 2 years we observed 8 patients with the clinical picture of a CPRS type II, due to previous peripheral nerve lesions of the upper extremity. All the patients followed a therapeutic protocol of neuromodulation and reconstructive surgical repair.
Results: Six patients out of eight had almost a complete recovery of the symptoms 6 months after the surgery.
Conclusions: Our study demonstrates that the patients who underwent surgical repair followed by neuromodulation didn't present any recurrence of the symptoms.
