Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) is a chronic neuropathic condition with unclear etiology and pathophysiology, characterized by heightened pain sensitivity and various autonomic disturbances. Due to the lack of a definitive treatment, a multidisciplinary approach is essential for managing symptoms and improving patients’ quality of life. Managing CRPS in pregnant patients presents additional challenges, as many conventional pharmacological treatments and interventional procedures carry risks to maternal and fetal health. This limits therapeutic options, necessitating safer and non-invasive alternatives. Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) is a proven safe and effective therapy for pregnancy-related low back pain, making it a promising option for managing CRPS in pregnant patients. In our case, TENS provided significant pain relief, demonstrating its potential as a viable, non-invasive modality for CRPS treatment during pregnancy without compromising safety.
