Why the Patient decided to undergo the CRPS Treatment in Italy

This young woman had very recently been diagnosed with CRPS, and as so many CRPS patient do, took it upon herself to look treatments up online, which is how she found us. Reading about the higher chances of improvements if taken shortly after the onset, her mom organized the whole trip within a week.

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.
