Popis: This article describes the case of a female patient with symptoms of complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) of the right wrist and forearm. Ergotherapy of the affected hand (unilateral desensitization) showed little success and became impossible with increasing environmental temperature due to excessive pain. A physiological feedback via simultaneous treatment of the unaffected healthy arm (bilateral treatment approach) ultimately led to a clear decline of all CRPS symptoms.
