CRPS Type 1 often arises after an injury or operation, for example after a fall on the hand with subsequent immobilisation. It manifests as burning constant pain, swelling, skin changes, and restricted movement, which can intensify over weeks to months.
The burden of suffering is high and many cases are considered treatment-refractory.
From our patient consultations and the medical reports submitted.
Almost always in this order.
Classic painkillers, physiotherapy, and sympathetic nerve blocks often only provide partial improvement, and more invasive procedures like spinal cord stimulation come with their own risks.
With CRPS, the interplay between inflammation, the nervous system, and blood flow is permanently thrown out of balance following an injury—the affected extremity remains in a self-sustaining state of hyperexcitability. The skin and soft tissues of the affected region are exposed and easily accessible for targeted bioelectric treatment.
Axomera focuses on this region: computer-controlled electrical signals in the dimension of cellular electrical fields are placed millimetre-precisely on the affected skin and soft tissue areas. The goal is to reduce hyperexcitability and interrupt the self-sustaining cycle of inflammation and pain.
How inflammation and pain are connected →Inflammation has an electrical dimension. Axomera starts exactly there.
Axomera is an internationally patented bioelectrical procedure.
How Axomera therapy works →Every effective therapy needs a clear procedure—with us, it starts with the Axomera diagnostics and leads to the individually planned Axomera therapy.
Axomera does not just treat the pain signal. The therapy works bioelectrically one level deeper, where pain-maintaining processes are suspected—especially in cases where established procedures have not helped sufficiently.
Fall on the right hand with surgical treatment of the wrist, followed by six weeks in a plaster cast. Swelling and severe pain occurred even during immobilisation; cortisone and high-dose painkillers were initiated. Further increase to the point of being unbearable over six months, most recently daily opiate infusions (Tramadol, Aspisol). Presentation with the diagnosis of CRPS Type 1: pronounced pressure pain on the extensor side over the wrist, severely restricted finger flexion, no fist closure.
On the day after the first session, the patient wrote: “The pain is 70 % better.” After the second session, all painkillers could be discontinued. A total of eight Axomera treatments within six weeks led to complete freedom from symptoms.

The telephone initial assessment is not a treatment and does not replace an examination. Whether Axomera is suitable for you will be decided after a medical examination.
