Editor's Comment: This report of a single case study is presented in unusual detail because of the exceptional promise of the technique described, and the importance of further study. Complex Regional Pain Syndrome chal- lenges our most informed and skillful interventions. The field is replete with reports of promising "cures" that fail to be replicated. We hope that this report will stimulate further studies of this intervention in carefully con- structed studies of a larger series, with randomization, before conclusions can be drawn.
