title: Mirror-like spread of chronic pain.
abstract: The spread of chronic pain from its initial site of presentation is common, but the mechanisms of the spread are unknown. Here the authors present neurophysiologic evidence of altered interhemispheric conduction in a patient with a mirror-like spread of complex regional pain syndrome symptoms.
