Why the Patient decided to undergo the CRPS Treatment in Italy

The patient knew about Neridronate treatment from Facebook support groups. After watching a few video testimonials of previous patients, she decided to try it, because all other options had failed.

Medical treatment the Patient underwent in Italy

Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is a severely painful and disabling disease for which a multitude of therapeutic interventions have been proposed. In the past two decades, only Bisphosphonates gained credibility. In recent years, more convincing evidence has become available on the use of Parenteral Neridronate. Since 2014, this drug is registered and marketed in Italy for the treatment of CRPS. To date, the only therapeutic schedule that is recognized to be able to confer benefit is the intravenous (IV) administration of 100 mg given 4 times.

4 neridronate infusions (100mg, I.v. in saline Solution 0,9% 250 ml)

4 Pantoprazole infusions; Paracetamol.

Conclusion

This patient had great and quick results after she was administered with Neridronate. She is in full remission. Her life completely changed because she was able to go back to her everyday tasks. She was so much impressed about the effectiveness of her journey and MTI service and reliability that she requested to become an ambassador and spread information to other CRPS warriors.
