Brain (re)organisation following amputation: Implications for phantom limb pain

NeuroImage, 2020
Following arm amputation the region that represented the missing hand in primary somatosensory cortex (S1) becomes deprived of its primary input, resulting in changed boundaries of the S1 body map.

The prevalence and characteristics of phantom limb pain and non-painful phantom phenomena in a nationwide survey of 3374 unilateral limb amputees.

Journal of Pain, 2021
The experience of phantom limb pain (PLP) is a common consequence of limb amputation, resulting in severe impairments of the affected person. Previous studies have shown that several factors such as age at or site of amputation are associated with the ...

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

Targeted Muscle Reinnervation Improves Residual Limb Pain, Phantom Limb Pain, and Limb Function: A Prospective Study of 33 Major Limb Amputees.

Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 2020
BACKGROUND Targeted muscle reinnervation is an emerging surgical technique to treat neuroma pain whereby sensory and mixed motor nerves are transferred to nearby redundant motor nerve branches.

Patient-centered results from a multicenter study of continuous peripheral nerve blocks and postamputation phantom and residual limb pain: secondary outcomes from a randomized, clinical trial

Regional anesthesia and pain medicine, 2023
Introduction We previously reported that a 6-day continuous peripheral nerve block reduces established postamputation phantom pain. To provide patients and providers with the information to best inform treatment decisions, here we reanalyze the data and ...

Managing pain by visually distorting the size of painful body parts: is there any therapeutic value? [PDF]

, 2016
Painful conditions such as complex regional pain syndrome, phantom limb pain and low back pain may change the sense of body image, so that body parts are perceived as large, swollen, heavy or stuck in one position [1]. In 1995, Ramachandran et al.

Relationship of prosthesis ownership and phantom limb pain: results of a survey in 2,383 limb amputees.

Pain, 2020
Phantom limb pain (PLP) accounts for a significant reduction in quality of life and is difficult to treat. Prosthesis use has been shown to negatively co-vary with PLP.
