Abstract: Mirror visual feedback, as a rehabilitation technique based on the theory of mirror neuron, was first used in the treatment of phantom limb pain, and then was widely used in stroke, peripheral nerve injury and so on. In recent years, it has also been used in the rehabilitation of complex regional pain syndrome type II. Mirror visual feedback could relieve the pain, and improve the motor function and the quality of life of patients, which may be related to the activation of mirror neurons, excitation of motor representative area and visual feedback.

Key words: complex regional pain syndrome, mirror visual feedback, rehabilitation, review
