Summary: | A patient who was unresponsive to multiple conservative medical treatments for complex regional pain syndrome was assessed using a novel approach—the sodium pentothal hypnosis interview. The interview suggested that his pain was centrally generated. The patient's pain symptoms resolved with hypnotherapeutic treatment. Indications for this procedure and implications for assessment and treatment are discussed. This case raises more questions than it answers, and leaves the reader to struggle with current difficulties in diagnostic decision-making. |
