The table shows treatment in the individual 19 patients. Subjective improvement: Improvement/worsening at time of follow-up examination compared to first examination. Antidepressants: Tricyclics. Anticonvulsants: Pregabalin, Gabapentin. Psychotherapy: Behavior therapy. Interventional therapy: Sympathetic blocks. Other treatment: Sympathectomy, spinal cord stimulation, neurodestructive procedures. Subjective improvement: Judgments by NRS in which -10 is the worst and +10 best improvement. QST hyperalgesia upon follow-up examination: LoGa Classification (Maier 2010); L0: no loss of detection, L1: only thermal loss, L2: only mechanical loss, L3: mixed loss of detection, G0: no gain (= no hyperalgesia), G1: only thermal hyperalgesia, G2: only mechanical hyperalgesia, G3: thermal and mechanical hyperalgesia. QST: Quantitative Sensory Testing, TENS: Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, VAS: visual analogue scale, NRS: numerical rating scale.
