Diagnosis and Treatment of Phantom Limb Pain: Mechanisms and Option FLow Sheet.
Abstract
The basic mechanisms underlying phantom pain as well as the diagnostic and treatment procedures are difficult to keep track of and coordinate during both teaching and clinical application. A figure summarizing the major mechanisms is provided along with the rational upon which each treatment is based. A flow sheet outlining when to do each diagnostic and treatment procedure and providing options based on results of each is provided to simplify teaching and keeping track of progress through a complex process. Only treatment with at least a fair success record on follow-up are included. (Author)
