Incidence and Factors Affecting the Development and Outcome of Phantom Limb Pain (PLP) - A Single-centre Prospective Cohort Study.

NCT05005481 · Status: UNKNOWN · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 67

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Phantom limb pain (PLP), defined as pain felt in the missing portion of the amputated limb following amputation, occurs in a significant percentage of patients who undergo limb amputation and it is among the most difficult chronic pain syndromes to treat. Its incidence has been reported to be around 70% though a local pilot study in 2013 reported the incidence to be 25%. The investigators aim to determine the actual incidence of PLP by conducting a single-centre prospective cohort study and identify risk factors associated with PLP. Subsequently, the investigators will use identified risk factors to develop and validate a risk prediction model for PLP after amputation surgery and design interventional studies aimed at reducing the development of PLP in high risk patients.
