The medical therapy of complex regional pain syndrome involves the use of a variety of drugs including antidepressants and anti-inflammatories such as corticosteroids. COX-inhibitors such as piroxicam and vasodilators can also be used. Other medications include GABA analogs such as  gabapentin and pregabalin, and alpha or beta-adrenergic-blocking compounds. Local anesthetics like lidocaine are often the first step in treatment, but physical therapy is the most important part of treatment. Implantation of spinal cord stimulators, sympathectomy, EEG feedback, psychotherapy, and ketamine are amongst the newer forms of treatment.
