Evidence for the optimal management of acute and chronic phantom pain: a systematic review.
Clin J Pain. Philadelphia, PA 2002 March
The objective was to examine the evidence to determine the optimal management of phantom limb pain in the preoperative and postoperative phase of amputations.
Trials were identified by a systematic search of MEDLINE, review articles, and references of relevant trials from the period 1966-1999, including only English-language articles. Included trials involved a control group, any intervention, and reported phantom pain as an outcome.
