Pulsed radiofrequency under ultrasound guidance for persistent stump-neuroma pain

Carlos E Restrepo-Garces et al. Pain Pract. 2011 Jan-Feb.

Abstract

Limb amputation is a leading cause of pain and disability. Limb amputation can be associated with a myriad of symptoms, including phantom limb sensation, phantom limb pain, and stump pain. Treatment of phantom limb pain and stump pain, remains difficult, therefore optimal management must include a multidisciplinary approach. This case report describes the use of ultrasound for diagnosis and successful management, of persistent stump-neuroma pain, using pulsed radiofrequency ablation.
