According to the [Younger2014 🕮 ], CRPS is a neuroinflammatory disease that LDN has been seen to benefit. [Toljan2018 🕮 ] summarizes cases of LDN being applied to intractable CRPS and acheiving complete remission in some cases.
the Low Dose Naltrexone home page [LDN] suggests that this neuroinflammatory disease may be associated with autoimmune processes.
The mechanism of action of LDN in treating CRPS appears to be via Toll-like receptor 4 antagonism and/or opioid growth factor antagonism [Toljan2018 🕮 ].
Dr. Weyrich has been trained in the use of Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN). However, Dr. Weyrich has not treated any cases of Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) with LDN.
