Treatments with Magnetic Fields for a Participant with Type I Complex Regional Knee Osteoarthritis

Kevin C

Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is a neurologic chronic pain condition that can have a significant impact on quality of life and is difficult to diagnose and treat. Right now, the accessible multimodal, individualized medicines (i.e., pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments including obtrusive techniques) are pointed exclusively at side effect control. We present the case of a Caucasian woman, 69 years old, who presented to us with a 3-year history of severe (10/10) burning pain in her right ankle, oedema, and local changes in temperature and color of the skin after the ankle sprain. Due to multiple drug intolerance, previous pharmacological attempts were unsuccessful. Clinical assessment affirmed the CRPS type I finding, and a week after week diamagnetic treatment convention was begun since the patient declined further meds and interventional systems. A significant (p 0.01) reduction in pain intensity and absence of oedema (difference in ankle circumference:) after 10 weeks of treatment from 3 cm to 0) were observed, with no adverse events and consequently improved quality of life. Our case report suggests further investigation of the potential use of diamagnetic therapy as a non-invasive and safe adjunctive treatment for CRPS and as an alternative when patients did not benefit from drugs or refused invasive procedures, despite the lack of highquality clinical evidence.
