This study is looking at how a special camera, called a Forward Looking InfraRed (FLIR) camera, can be used to monitor the effects of spinal cord stimulation (SCS) in people with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS). CRPS causes ongoing pain and other symptoms, often in an arm or leg. Researchers want to see if FLIR images can show changes in the affected limb's temperature after SCS, which might indicate improved blood flow. They also want to see if these temperature changes relate to how much pain you feel or other CRPS symptoms. You might be able to join if you are 18-85 years old, have CRPS in one lower leg for over 3 months, and haven't found relief with other treatments. The study aims to enroll 12 participants.

Study design

This is an observational study, meaning researchers will watch and record information without giving a specific treatment. It will involve a small group of 12 participants.

What's involved

You would have images of your feet taken with a special infrared camera before and after spinal cord stimulation. The primary measurement will be taken 2-8 days after the procedure.

Compensation

Not stated in the trial record.

Follow-up

Your temperature difference in the limb will be measured 2-8 days after the trial procedure.
