Abstract

Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) is a debilitating chronic pain condition characterized by sensory, motor, and autonomic disturbances, often resistant to conventional therapies. Pulsed radiofrequency (PRF), a non-neurodestructive neuromodulation technique, has been described as a potential intervention for CRPS, though its clinical effectiveness remains uncertain due to limited evidence.
