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

open access: yesClinical 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.

Molecular determinants of signal transduction in tropomyosin receptor kinases

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Tropomyosin receptor kinases control critical neuronal functions, but how do the same receptors produce diverse cellular responses? This review explores the structural mechanisms behind Trk signaling diversity, focusing on allosteric modulation and ligand bias.

Phantom sensation and quality of life among patients with lower-limb amputations in the region of Juiz de Fora, Minas Gerais: a cross-sectional study

open access: yesDementia & Neuropsychologia, 2021
. An amputation is an irreversible event that causes social, psychological, and functional consequences that reduces the quality of life of the amputee. Phantom pain generally is reported by 50 to 80% of amputees.

Preliminary Evidence for Training-Induced Changes of Morphology and Phantom Limb Pain

open access: yesFrontiers 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 ...

Body representation among adults with phantom limb pain: Results from a foot identification task

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Pain, 2021
Impaired body representation (i.e. disrupted body awareness or perception) may be a critical, but understudied, factor underlying phantom limb pain (PLP).

A computational model unifies apparently contradictory findings concerning phantom pain

open access: yes, 2014
Amputation often leads to painful phantom sensations, whose pathogenesis is still unclear. Supported by experimental findings, an explanatory model has been proposed that identifies maladaptive reorganization of the primary somatosensory cortex (S1) as a

Exploring if Longitudinal Changes on PET Imaging Can Serve as a Biomarker for Stiff Person Syndrome Spectrum Disorders

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To identify metabolic patterns in the brain and musculoskeletal system of stiff person syndrome spectrum disorders (SPSD) patients over time using PET imaging and evaluate the impact of immune therapy on metabolic activity as a surrogate for treatment response.

Robotic-Enhanced Prosthetic Liners for Vibration Therapy: Reducing Phantom Limb Pain in Transfemoral Amputees

open access: yesSensors
Phantom limb pain, a common challenge for amputees, lacks effective treatment options. Vibration therapy is a promising non-pharmacologic intervention for reducing pain intensity, but its efficacy in alleviating phantom limb pain requires further ...
