Psychophysiological assessments and biofeedback based interventions for disorders whose main symptom of interest is chronic pain can be highly effective and useful in the clinical environment. The evidence supporting the effectiveness of psychophysiological assessments and interventions for phantom limb pain, upper and lower back pain, non-cardiac chest pain, and pelvic floor pain disorders is ...

BACKGROUND Pain after amputation is common but difficult to treat, and few controlled treatment studies exist. METHODS In the current study, 94 treatment-naive posttraumatic limb amputees with phantom pain (intensity: mean visual analog scale score [0-100], 40 [95% confidence interval, 38-41]) were randomly assigned to receive individually titrated doses of tramadol, placebo (double-blind com...

Pain and pain-related interference with physical function have not been thoroughly studied in individuals who have undergone knee-disarticulation amputations. The principal aim of this study was to determine whether individuals with knee-disarticulation amputations have worse pain and pain-related interference with physical function than do individuals with transtibial or transfemoral amputatio...

Neurorehabilitation is one of rehabilitation techniques to elicit neural plastic changes in the central nervous system. The concept neurorehabilitation being applied patients with chronic pain. present review firstly explained about plasticity, and then mentioned phantom limb pain as a topic explain how experts conduct neurorehabilitation. Phantom–limb (PLP) commonly classified neuropathic foll...

Phantom limb pain (PLP) is a form of chronic neuropathic pain that responds poorly to treatment interventions derived from the neuroanatomic understanding of pain and analgesia. Several new psychological and behavioral treatments that have proven more effective have been explained by invoking neural plasticity as their mechanism of action. Other novel treatments that are based on an "energy med...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Since the beginning of the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, there has been a dramatic increase in the number of military service members with single and multiple-limb amputations. Phantom limb pain (PLP) frequently develops in these individuals. As a result, identifying the best methods to treat PLP is critical. The review highlights areas of inquiry related to phanto...
