“…The search strategy on the 3 databases produced a total of 559 records; after duplicate removal and the whole screening process, 12 studies [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24] were included in our systematic review (PRISMA flowchart Figure 1). A total of 545 subjects diagnosed with CRPS according to different diagnosis criteria were recruited in the included studies and treated with several different interventions.…”

“…This kind of intervention is widely adopted also in the management of stroke and shoulder-hand syndrome. 32 The included trials adopted different methodologies, and intended MI in different ways, and Sarkar et al 22 used only mirror therapy, while in other studies mirror therapy was included in an extensive MI program also including recognition of hand laterality, and hand movement imagination. 23,24 The sample sizes were little and consequently even if producing encouraging results, the conclusions of these trials should be considered carefully.…”

“…Moseley, 24 Moseley, 23 and Sarkar et al 22 proposed interventions composed by motor imagery (MI) and mirror therapy. Moseley 24 verified the effect of MI composed by recognition of hand laterality, imagined hand movement, and mirror therapy with respect to a physiotherapy program based on active and passive mobilization, desensitization therapy, and hydrotherapy.…”

“…The results showed how the conventional MI program composed in order by recognition of hand laterality, imagined hand movement, and mirror therapy seems to produce the better pain reduction and functional improvements at posttreatment and 6 weeks after treatment. Sarkar et al 22 compared mirror therapy and exercises with the affected limb hidden, both interventions in addition to contrast baths as cointervention, and a control group. The mirror therapy group showed a significant improvement at posttreatment with respect to the other groups in the pain reduction, and no differences were retrieved at posttreatment for swelling.…”

Aim: Investigate the efficacy of physical therapy in the management of complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) Methods: We conducted a systematic review on 3 databases: MEDLINE, EMBASE, and CENTRAL. The applied methods are stated in the protocol and registered in OSF: 10.17605/OSF.IO/SF49B. Results: At the end of the screening process, 12 RCTs were included. Included studies presented heterogeneous and multicomponent interventions. Physical therapy interventions resulted valuable in the management of CRPS. Motor imagery and some physical agents therapies are effective in reducing pain and for functional improvements. Conclusion: Physiotherapy is a central treatment for patients with CRPS.

Objectives: An increasing number of systematic reviews have been conducted on various conservative management of complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) targeting different rehabilitation interventions and objectives. The intent of this article was to summarize and critically appraise the body of evidence on conservative management of the CRPS and to provide an overall picture of the current state of the literature. Methods: This study was an overview of systematic reviews on conservative treatments for CRPS. We conducted a literature search from inception to January 2023 in the following databases: Embase, Medline, CINAHL, Google Scholar, Cochrane Library, and Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro). Two independent reviewers conducted study screening, data extraction, and methodological quality assessment (using AMSTAR-2). Qualitative synthesis was the preferred method for reporting the findings of our review. We calculated the corrected covered area index to account for the proportion of overlapping primary studies that were included in multiple reviews. Result: We identified 214 articles, and a total of 9 systematic reviews of randomized controlled trials were eligible for inclusion. Pain and disability were the most common outcomes evaluated in the reviews. There were 6 (6/9; 66%) high-quality, 2 (2/9; 22%) moderate-quality, and 1 critically low-quality systematic review (1/9;11%), with the quality of the included trials ranging from very low to high. There was a large overlap across primary studies that were included in the systematic reviews (corrected covered area=23%). The findings of high-quality reviews support the effectiveness of mirror therapy (MT) and graded motor imagery (GMI) programs on pain and disability improvement in CRPS patients. The large effect size was reported for the effectiveness of MT on pain and disability (SMD:1.88 (95% CI: 0.73–3.02) and 1.30 (95% CI: 0.11–2.49), respectively) and the effectiveness of GMI program (GMIP) on pain and disability improvement (SMD: 1.36 (95% CI: 0.75–1.96) and 1.64 (95% CI: 0.53–2.74), respectively). Discussion: The evidence is in favor of adopting movement representation techniques, such as MT and GMI programs, for the treatment of pain and disability in patients with CRPS. However, this is based on a small body of primary evidence, and more research is required to generate conclusions. Overall, the evidence is not comprehensive or of sufficient quality to make definitive recommendations about the effectiveness of other rehabilitation interventions in improving pain and disability.
