Abstract
Residual limb pain (RLP) is a difficult and prevalent condition that can occur after an amputation. The pathophysiology of the RLP is a mystery but its commonly viewed to be multifactorial. This can include peripheral, spinal, and supraspinal mechanisms contributing to the patient’s pain. Effectively treating RLP can be even more challenging. Physicians should take a multi-modal and individualized approach. Current treatment trends include pharmacotherapy, toxin injections, nerve blocks, radiofrequency ablations (RFA), and other more advanced neuromodulation techniques.
