Hi Lovefamilypets,

I am so sorry your CRPS has gone full body.

The beauty of tDCS is that it has been effective for advanced and treatment resistant CRPS.

I have a thought. Consider educating your pain management doc, (or whatever doc is treating you) and see if he/she is willing to be trained to offer the procedure. Another option might be to see if your doctor would be willing to try to arrange a long distance consultation with Dr. Fugedy in Atlanta.

Caution: You may be more successful going this route with doctor who is not a PM doc since "procedures" constitute the bulk of practice revenue. A neurologist may be your best bet.

If you are comfortable doing your own research. By research I mean going to original journal articles, not just the abstracts, to see what protocols are most effective for areas you want to target.

Do you know what caused your CRPS spread? How long have you had CRPS? Is it more severe in one area?
