CRPS-RISE Clinical Trial
California Pain Medicine CenterA Research Study for Adults with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome Type 1 (CRPS-1)
Now Enrolling Participants
Do you or someone you know have ongoing pain, swelling, or changes in skin color or temperature after an injury or surgery?
Doctors and researchers are studying a possible new treatment for Complex Regional Pain Syndrome Type 1 (CRPS-1).
What Is CRPS?
Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) is a painful condition that can happen after an injury, surgery, fracture, sprain, or other trauma
Symptoms may include:
- Burning sensation or disproportionate pain in the arm, leg, foot, or hand
- Swelling
- Changes in skin color or temperature
- Sensitivity to touch
- Trouble moving the affected limb
Overview of the Study
This study is testing an investigational medication called AMBTX-01 to see if it may:
- Reduce CRPS pain
- Improve movement and daily functioning
- How safe the treatment is
Participants will receive either:
- AMBTX-0, or
- Placebo (a treatment with no active medication
The assignment is random, like flipping a coin. Neither you or the study team will know which treatment you receive during the study.
