研究概览
简要总结
Research study to determine if putting local anesthetic-or numbing medication-through one or two tiny tube(s) placed next to the nerves that go to an amputated limb will decrease phantom limb and/or stump pain.
详细描述
Specific Aim 1: To determine if, compared with current standard-of-care treatment, the addition of an ambulatory continuous peripheral nerve block decreases post-amputation phantom limb and stump pain.
Hypothesis 1: Following upper or lower extremity amputation, phantom limb and/or stump pain will be significantly decreased four weeks following a multiple-day ambulatory continuous peripheral nerve block as compared with patients receiving standard-of-care treatment (as measured on the 11-point numeric rating scale).
Specific Aim 2: To investigate the possible relationship between the addition of a multiple-day ambulatory continuous peripheral nerve block to standard-of-care treatment of post-amputation phantom limb and/or stump pain and cortical reorganization.
Hypothesis 2: Following upper or lower extremity amputation with subsequent phantom limb pain/sensation and/or stump pain, the addition of a multiple-day ambulatory continuous peripheral nerve block to standard-of-care treatment will result in cortical reorganization during and four-weeks following the perineural infusion (as measured by MRI).
