Summary

Chronic post-stroke pain (CPSP), Dejerine Roussy syndrome, is a specific injury resulting from usually ischemic stroke. Diagnosing and discovering direct mechanisms are still works in process. The syndrome is also hard to differentiate among other similar ones due to the varying symptomatic responses in individuals. Many different therapy processes and management systems are being studied to find an efficient and safe way to reduce the pain in individuals with CPSP. Seen in the treatments and management section, some techniques are invasive, while others are not. Transcranial stimulation is invasive. It leads to many other complications that come with surgical procedures. Other methods are not as invasive and have some existing evidence of reducing pain. Many of the treatments and management of CPSP still need more evidence to fully figure out their mechanisms of action and the consistent effects of the treatments. The different methods appear to have promising results and future research can help to uncover that potential.
