Presentation
- Abstract In the present study we evaluated the 3-month follow-up of 14 subjects with phenobarbital-induced shoulder-hand syndrome after discontinuation of their previous pharmacological treatment (group 1: gabapentin 100 mg/day; group 2: acetaminophen[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Treatment
- The full syndrome recurred in six patients, all of whom responded to a second course of treatment.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- The aim of this study was to evaluate pain and joint function in each group after cessation of treatment and to compare the results in the two groups.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- […] has yet proven its advantage over other physical methods for reducing hand oedema; and (vi) oral corticosteroids are the most effective treatment for SHS.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- The primary indices evaluated were pain on passive movement of the shoulder using the numeric pain rating scale (NPRS), and the number of patients with shoulder-hand syndrome at Steinbrocker stage II or III after treatment.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Marginal or no discomfort from treatment with the orthosis was reported in 15 patients (75%), and only a single patient (5%) felt severe discomfort during the entire treatment. Use of the orthosis during the prescribed time was 89%.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis
- Rapid evaluation is necessary, because the earlier treatment is started, the better the prognosis [ 8 ].[jmedicalcasereports.biomedcentral.com]

Pathophysiology
- We conclude that a SHS complicating CSCI is associated with increased amplitude of the SSR, supporting the theory that sympathetic hyperactivity is important in the pathophysiology of reflex sympathetic dystrophy in this setting.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- A great diversity of pathophysiological and therapeutic insight was found.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- The pathophysiology is not completely clear but a predominant 'sympathetic' factor affecting the neural and vascular supply to the affected parts seems to be involved.[paperity.org]

Prevention
- Swelling and contracture of the hands continued to develop despite oral corticosteroid therapy, and one patient underwent surgery in an attempt to prevent the development of further deformity.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
