Abstract :

Abstract: Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is a chronic pain disorder that is characterized by severe, continuous pain which is accompanied by sensory, vasomotor, sudo-motor/ oedema, and motor/trophic changes. Utilizing specific non-invasive and drug-free protocols as seen in Hypnosis Combined Therapy (HCT) allows us to significantly decrease pain levels, many CRPS patients are gaining long-term remission, regain function, increase restorative sleep, and decrease / control stress and anxiety.

Objective: Discuss the effectiveness of Hypnosis Combined Therapy (HCT) on the treatment of CRPS.

Case Studies: A) 14 year old female diagnosed with CRPS type 2. When she arrived her average pain level was 9-10/10 (10 being worst pain imaginable), sleep quality 9/10 (10 being worst) and quality of life 8/10 (10 being worst). She completed a week long intensive with HCT. At the conclusion of the week her pain levels were 0/10, sleep quality was 1/10 (10 being worst) and quality of life 1/10 (10 being worst).

B) 27 year old female diagnosed with CRPS type 1. When she arrived her average pain level was 9/10 (10 being worst), sleep quality 7/10 (10 being worst) and quality of life 7/10 (10 being worst). At the conclusion of the week her pain levels were 0/10 (10 being worst), sleep quality 0/10 (10 being worst) and quality of life 1/10 (10 being worst).

C) 15 year old female diagnosed with CRPS type 2. She was in a wheelchair, unable to stand or walk, unable to transfer herself, etc. Her pain level was rated at 9/10 (10 being worst), sleep quality 8/10 (10 being worst) and quality of life 9/10 (10 being worst). At the conclusion of the week her pain levels were 0/10 (10 being worst), sleep quality 1/10 (10 being worst) and quality of life 2/10 (10 being worst).

Conclusion: HCT has proven to significantly decrease pain levels and many patients are gaining long-term remission without the need for invasive procedures or medications
