An Algorithm Approach to Phantom Limb Pain

Journal of Pain Research, 2022
Phantom limb pain (PLP) is a common condition that occurs following both upper and lower limb amputation. First recognized and described in 1551 by Ambroise Pare, research into its underlying pathology and effective treatments remains a very active and ...

Psychophysical Evaluation of the Capability for Phantom Limb Movement in Forearm Amputees. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
A phantom limb is the sensation that an amputated limb is still attached to the body and is moving together with other body parts. Phantom limb phenomenon is often described on the basis of the patient's subjective sense, for example as represented using

PHANTOM LIMB: CHARACTERISTICS AND MANAGEMENT [PDF]

Euromediterranean Biomedical Journal, 2022
Phantom limb sensation was described for the first time by the French military surgeon Ambroise Pare in the 16th century, where soldiers reported a long-lasting suggestive and physical pain after an amputation.

Ultrasound-guided Percutaneous Cryoneurolysis to Treat Chronic Postamputation Phantom Limb Pain: A Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial

Anesthesiology, 2022
Background: Postamputation phantom pain is notoriously persistent with few validated treatments. Cryoneurolysis involves the application of low temperatures to reversibly ablate peripheral nerves.

Phantom limb pain [PDF]

British Journal of Anaesthesia, 2000
Phantom pain is experienced by 60% to 80% of patients following limb amputation but is only severe in about 5% to 10% of cases. The mechanisms underlying pain in amputees are not fully understood, but factors in both the peripheral and central nervous system play a role.

Reduction of Phantom Limb Pain and Improved Proprioception through a TSR-Based Surgical Technique: A Case Series of Four Patients with Lower Limb Amputation

Journal of Clinical Medicine, 2021
Four patients underwent targeted sensory reinnervation (TSR), a surgical technique in which a defined skin area is first selectively denervated and then surgically reinnervated by another sensory nerve. In our case, either the area of the lateral femoral

Phantom limb therapy improves cortical efficiency of the sensorimotor network in a targeted muscle reinnervation amputee: a case report

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2023
Targeted muscle reinnervation (TMR) surgery involves the coaptation of amputated nerves to nearby motor nerve branches with the purpose of reclosing the neuromuscular loop in order to reduce phantom limb pain. The purpose of this case study was to create
