Brief summary (from the registry)
This clinical study evaluates the effectiveness of surgical treatment in patients with upper-limb complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) diagnosed according to the Budapest criteria. Seventy-four patients were assessed between 2014 and 2023. Patients with identifiable structural pathology underwent lesion-specific surgical correction, while those without detectable lesions but with neuropathic nocturnal pain underwent decompression of the median nerve. Pain intensity was measured using the visual analogue scale (VAS) preoperatively, at 10-12 days, and at three months. The study aims to determine the speed and magnitude of pain improvement after targeted surgical intervention.
