Successful Intravenous Regional Block with Low-Dose Tumor Necrosis Factor-α Antibody Infliximab for Treatment of Complex Regional Pain Syndrome 1

Abstract: Cytokines, particularly tumor necrosis factor-alpha, may play an important role in the mediation of mechanical hyperalgesia and autonomic signs in complex regional pain syndrome 1. We performed an IV regional block with low-dose administration of the tumor necrosis factor-alpha antibody, infliximab, in a patient with typical clinical signs of complex regional pain syndrome 1 (moderate pain, edema, hyperhidrosis, elevated skin temperature compared with the contralateral side). A significant improvement of clini… Show more

“…of normal saline was repeated one week later. The result was 50% decrease in pain on the first day and 100% from the second week, temperature changes of more than 1 degree Celsius, improving the strength and range of motion of hand from the four weeks but remains hyperalgesia pressure indicating peripheral sensitization of the nociceptive system persists and pinprick hyperalgesia persisted indicating central sensitization [32]. Adionalmente this author indicates that treatment with infliximab reduces the local adverse effects and costs.…”

“…Se trata de una mujer con SDRC en miembro superior derecho después de cirugía para corregir una fractura de Colles y a quien se manejó con ibuprofeno, esteroides, terapia física y dos bloqueos de ganglio estrellado con mejoría de la temperatura de la extremidad pero sin mejoría del dolor; se le realizó un bloqueo endovenoso con infliximab a bajas dosis, 25 mg disueltos en 40 ml de solución salina normal, que fue repetido una semana después. El resultado fue disminución del dolor del 50 % al primer día, y del 100 % a partir de la segunda semana, cambios de temperatura de más de 1 grado Celsius, mejoría de la fuerza y de arcos de movimiento de mano a partir de las cuatro semanas, pero se mantiene la hiperalgesia a la presión, indicando que persiste la sensibilización periférica del sistema nociceptivo y también persistió la hiperalgesia al pinchazo indicando sensibilización central (32).…”

“…La contribution de l'inflammation dans la genèse du SDRC est, d'ailleurs, corrélée cliniquement par le succès des traitements par corticoïdes per os et les traitements comprenant les agents immunomodulateurs comme l'infliximab [2] et la thalidomide [45].…”
