Treatment of Phantom and Residual Limb Pain in Amputees With Targeted Muscle Reinnervation.
TMR improved phantom and residual limb pain in amputees, as evidenced by clinically and statistically significant reductions in pain with reduced need for long-term opioids and/or neuromodulators. These findings support the current understanding of TMR but underscore the need for continued investigation to comprehensively assess the potential of this promising technique in improving the functional outcomes and quality of life in the amputee population.
