Default Crps1 vs crps2

Tell me. I know the difference and i know they are treated the same BUT why when i read treatment trials most/all are using CRPS1. I actually have yet to find one that says using CRPS2 patients. I have read Dr. S last paper and i believe it had people with nerve injuries but they were not picked to receive ketamine they got the placebo(I know it was a double blind study so it wasnt purposely picked that way)
My question is- Is it because when a nerve is involved the results/outcome wont be as good as with CRPS1? That logically makes sense to me because if there is no nerve damage than treatments might work better. Whereas if a nerve is damaged even if ketamine works on the CRPS there is still a nerve injured . Has anyone read an article using CRPS2 patients? momof4
