A computational neuromuscular model has been developed and methods have been developed to quantify proprioceptive reflexes in vivo during postural control of patients with fixed dystonia to gain insight into the pathophysiology of fixed dySTONia and develop a diagnostic protocol.

Although the pathophysiology of complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is not fully understood, recent work suggests that bisphosphonates may be useful in CRPS management and that the N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor antagonist ketamine significantly reduces CRPS pain when administered topically or intravenously at subanesthetic dosages.

Intrathecal baclofen for the treatment of dystonia in patients with reflex sympathetic dystrophy.
- Medicine, PsychologyThe New England journal of medicine
- 2000
Six women who had reflex sympathetic dystrophy with multifocal or generalized tonic dystonia received bolus injections of 50 and 75 microg of baclofen, and in one woman, the pain and violent jerks disappeared and the dystonic posturing of the arm decreased.

The use of Memantine for treatment of CRPS seems promising and supports the hypothesis of a CNS contribution to the pathogenesis and maintenance of neuropathic pain syndromes.
Analgesic Effects of Ketamine Ointment in Patients With Complex Regional Pain Syndrome Type 1

Topical application of KET appears to be beneficial for the patients with acute early dystrophic stage of CRPS I because of either its local anesthetic effect or NMDA receptor antagonist action.
The important role of neuropeptides in complex regional pain syndrome

Increased systemic CGRP levels in patients with acute CRPS suggest neurogenic inflammation as a pathophysiologic mechanism contributing to vasodilation, edema, and increased sweating, however, pain and hyperalgesia, in particular in chronic stages, were independent of increased neuropeptide concentration.
