Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN)

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 achieving 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 to use Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN). However, Dr. Weyrich has not treated any cases of Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) with LDN.
