简要总结
Phantom limb pain is defined as painful sensation referring to missing limb. Multiple modalities including medical and interventional therapies has been tried so far with minimal success. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) adjacent to cervical dorsal root ganglion (DRG) in patients with upper extremity phantom limb pain. The pain reduction will be assessed in terms of Numerical rating score at Baseline at 1 month following procedure and at 3 months following procedure.
