Complex Regional Pain Syndrome Caused by an Axillary Lipoma

Bier block as a successful management of a patient with intractable complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) type 1: A case report

“…Because of the good results of various nerve blocks in the treatment of CRPS patients, we decided to use a Bier block in our patient who was resistant to medications and the SGB block. The Bier block is a reliable, easy to perform, and cost‐effective method for procedures on the extremities with success rates of 94% to 98% 12 . Various adjutants such as opioids and steroids have been added to local anesthesia to improve block reality 12 .…”

“…12 Various adjutants such as opioids and steroids have been added to local anesthesia to improve block reality. 12 There are different suggested sites for the action of a Bier block. One study reported that local anesthetics act on major nerve trunks, while two other studies indicated that the main site of action of the local anesthetic in a Bier block is on the smaller nerves and possibly the sensory nerve endings.…”

“…Intravenous regional anesthesia (Bier block) is a reliable and cost‐effective procedure for operative procedures on the extremities. It is performed on an ambulatory basis and has a success rate of 94%–98% 12 . This paper details the treatment of a CRPS type 1 patient who had tried various therapies and interventions which were ineffective and were successfully managed with Bier block.…”
