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
