BACKGROUND: Outcomes of targeted muscle reinnervation (TMR) and regenerative
peripheral nerve interface (RPNI) in the oncologic population are limited. We sought to …

Objectives: To estimate the prevalence of post-amputation pain among lower-limb amputees
and its burden on their lives. Methods: A retrospective patients record review of lower limb …

Introduction: Targeted muscle reinnervation (TMR) is an effective surgical treatment of
neuropathic pain for amputees. However, limited data exists regarding the early post …

Our objective is to present a brief history of the evolution of peripheral nerve stimulation, the
current understanding of peripheral nerve stimulation mechanisms in chronic pain …

Background Numerical scales are validated methods to report pain outcomes after Targeted
Muscle Reinnervation (TMR) but do not include the assessment of qualitative pain …

Objective To describe the frequency and severity of phantom limb pain (PLP) in veterans
with major upper limb amputation and determine the association between PLP and person …

Phantom limb pain is a multifactorial process involving profound functional and structural
changes in the peripheral and central nervous system. These changes interact with …

Phantom limb pain (PLP) is a prevalent problem for children and adolescents undergoing
amputation due to cancer treatment. The symptoms are wide ranging from sharp to tingling …

Accumulating evidence demonstrates the beneficial effects of physical exercise on pain
conditions; however, the underlying mechanisms are not understood thoroughly. The …

Intuitively, pain would seem to be implicitly understood but resistant to attempts at
