I have read a fair amount about impaired limb awareness (sometimes referred to as "ownership") in CRPS. Here are citations that you can google to see abstracts:
• Kolb L, Lang C, Seifert F, Maihöfner C. Cognitive correlates of “neglect-like syndrome” in patients with complex regional pain syndrome. Pain. 2012;153(5):1063–73.
• Moseley GL, Flor H. Targeting cortical representations in the treatment of chronic pain: a review. Neurorehabil. Neural Repair. 2012;26(6):646–52.
• Lewis JS, Kersten P, McPherson KM, et al. Wherever is my arm? Impaired upper limb position accuracy in complex regional pain syndrome. Pain. 2010;149(3):463–9. Available at:
• Punt TD, Cooper L, Hey M, Johnson MI. Neglect-like symptoms in complex regional pain syndrome: learned nonuse by another name? Pain. 2013;154(2):200–3.
