Prevalence and risk factors for chronic postamputation pain requiring analgesia or nerve interventions: a population-based study in East Asia
The prevalence of PAP requiring subsequent analgesia or nerve interventions in this East Asian population is 18.1%. Identified risk factors include multiple medical comorbidities and pre-existing radiculopathy or myelopathy. These findings highlight the important considerations for both clinical practice and future research directions.
