AbstractOccupational therapy, as a rehabilitative treatment is an essential part of multimodal therapy for complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS). The goals of the treatment and the methods vary greatly for this condition, because they are subject to the changing symptomatology. In some cases there are overlapping and synergistic treatment strategies with physiotherapy. For a positive treatment result it is important to implement occupational therapy early on and continuously during the course of the disease. This allows treatment methods, such as mental exercises or sensory exercises to improve the processing of pain-triggering perceptual stimuli at an early stage. Alongside the classical movement exercises and advice on aids, special treatment methods, such as mirror therapy, neurocognitive rehabilitation according to Perfetti or the graded exposure concept can also be beneficial for CRPS patients.© 2021.
