Physical and social factors determining quality of life for veterans with lower-limb amputation(s) : a systematic review [PDF]
, 2016 Purpose: Most veterans live for many years after their war-related traumatic lower-limb amputation, which is why understanding which factors influence health-related quality of life (HRQoL) remains important to their long-term management.

Use of Calcitonin in Recalcitrant Phantom Limb Pain Complicated by Heterotopic Ossification
Pain Research and Management, 2015 A common complication following amputation is phantom sensation, which may include experiencing pain in the phantom limb. This study details the management of phantom limb pain in a 72-year-old man, in whom comorbid heterotopic ossification was present ...

Plasticity and awareness of bodily distortion [PDF]
, 2016 Knowledge of the body is filtered by perceptual information, recalibrated through predominantly innate stored information, and neurally mediated by direct sensory motor information.

Visually induced analgesia: seeing the body reduces pain [PDF]
, 2009 Given previous reports of strong interactions between vision and somatic senses, we investigated whether vision of the body modulates pain perception. Participants looked into a mirror aligned with their body midline at either the reflection of their own

Preliminary Evidence for Training-Induced Changes of Morphology and Phantom Limb Pain
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2017 The aim of this study was to investigate whether a special prosthetic training in phantom limb pain patients aimed at increasing the functional use of the prosthesis leads to neural morphological plasticity of brain structures and a reduction in phantom ...

More than skin deep: body representation beyond primary somatosensory cortex [PDF]
, 2010 The neural circuits underlying initial sensory processing of somatic information are relatively well understood. In contrast, the processes that go beyond primary somatosensation to create more abstract representations related to the body are less clear.

Case Reports in Medicine, 2011 Phantom limb pain is very common after limb amputation and is often difficult to treat. The motor cortex stimulation is a valid treatment for deafferentation pain that does not respond to conventional pain treatment, with relief for 50% to 70% of ...

Management of Phantom Limb Pain through Thalamotomy of the Centro-Median Nucleus
Neurology International, 2021 Background: Phantom limb syndrome is defined as the perception of intense pain or other sensations that are secondary to a neural lesion in a limb that does not exist. It can be treated using pharmacological and surgical interventions.
