Case Report: Reduction in post-amputation phantom limb pain intensity accompanying the onset of phantom limb telescoping
In this report, telescoping appeared to be preceded by an initial reduction in PLP intensity but these findings are based on a single case report and must be replicated with a large sample size before we have a clearer idea of the relationship between telescoping and PLP. This study provides insight into factors that may maintain PLP, generating targets for further investigation.
