This study aims to analyze the benefits of occupational therapeutic intervention from the use of the Stress Loading Treatment Program, with two people affected by Regional Pain Complex Syndrome Type I (RPCS I). This is characterized as a case study, descriptive, comparative pre and post treatment. The interventions took place from May to June 2014 and the data collection instruments used were Disabilities Arm Shoulder and Hand (DASH) and Visual Analog Scale (VAS). Two women, aged 52 and 59, participated in this study. At the time of the study, both were away from their work activities, maintained physiotherapeutic and occupational therapeutic follow-up, and used antidepressants and analgesics. It can be observed that both participants presented improvements in the DASH score and VAS after the six-week occupational therapeutic interventions with the Stress Loading Treatment Program.
