Abstract
Objective: To present a patient with complex regional pain syndrome type 1 (CRPS-I) and improvement of contracture of hand muscles and grip strength after successful treatment with botulinum neurotoxin‑A (BoNT-A).
Case: A 53-year-old woman with CRPS‑I experienced severe allodynia, swelling and autonomic changes in the left hand after a distal radius fracture. Over the succeeding months, she developed contracture of the left hand muscles which was treated with injection of BoNT‑A into the hand muscles (10 points).
Results: In the patient treatment with BoNT‑A an improvement was seen in the hand range of motion (ROM) and grip strength.
Conclusion: Successful results can be obtained with BoNT‑A injection in treatment-resistant CRPS‑I cases which may develop joint contracture.

The Wiener klinische Wochenschrift - The Central European Journal of Medicine - is an international scientific medical journal covering the entire spectrum of clinical medicine and related areas such as ethics in medicine, public health and the history of medicine. In addition to original articles, the Journal features editorials and leading articles on newly emerging topics, review articles, case reports and a broad range of special articles. Experimental material will be considered for publication if it is directly relevant to clinical medicine. The number of international contributions has been steadily increasing. Consequently, the international reputation of the journal has grown in the past several years. Founded in 1888, the Wiener klinische Wochenschrift - The Central European Journal of Medicine - is certainly one of the most prestigious medical journals in the world and takes pride in having been the first publisher of landmarks in medicine.
