AbstractThirty patients suffering from reflex sympathetic dystrophy accompanied by continuous spontaneous pain of the affected distal limb were investigated. The aim of the study was to determine whether a suprasystolic compression (cuff) fixed at the distal part of the affected limb and interrupting the distal circulation would influence the pain. In most cases, this so-called ischaemia-test led to a substantial suppression of pain, which occurred during the first or second minute after the cuff had been applied. Therefore, this test can be used as a new diagnostic tool to support the clinical diagnosis of reflex sympathetic dystrophy.
