ABSTRACT
This paper presents a case of a 35-year-old female patient diagnosed with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) type I and treated over a two-month period with a novel low-frequency sound-transduced focal pulsed stimulus. The patient received 21 treatments consisting of focally applied sound sweeps in the 15-100 Hz range. Outcome measures included the Visual Analogue Scale for pain, five physical assessment parameters, medication, and the Pain Catastrophizing Scale. A follow-up was conducted at six months. The results show that the patient's low-back pain level was substantially reduced after treatment and after six months. CRPS-related peripheral pain was strongly reduced but had some rebound after six months. The low-frequency sound-transduced focal pulsed stimulus shows potential as a non-invasive treatment for CRPS and deserves controlled clinical trials.
