Article Synopsis
  • * Conducted over four years, the research included 53 CRPS patients, mainly with long-term symptoms, and analyzed their serum sIL-2R levels alongside a CRPS severity score.
  • * Results showed no significant correlation between serum sIL-2R levels and CRPS severity, indicating it may not be a useful biomarker for long-standing cases, and suggesting further studies on sIL-2R levels from early to persistent CRPS.

Article Synopsis
  • Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is a tough condition that causes long-lasting pain in arms or legs, and some people might feel better after getting esketamine treatment.
  • This study compares two ways to give esketamine: one method is a long, continuous treatment in a hospital, and the other is shorter treatments done every two weeks at home.
  • The goal is to see if the home treatment works just as well as the hospital one, while also checking how safe and cost-effective these treatments are for patients.
