Overview

Case report demonstrates improved pain and motor function in an adolescent with CRPS Type I using ketamine, gabapentin, and nerve block.

Key Points

  • Combined therapies included ketamine infusion, gabapentin, and a supraclavicular nerve catheter delivering ropivacaine.
  • Case report approach highlights a successful multimodal analgesia strategy for complex regional pain syndrome.
  • Success suggests potential for broader application in treating adolescent CRPS cases with similar challenges.
