Zapping vs. injecting: finding the best way to ease amputee pain
NCT ID NCT07431424
Summary
This study compared two different ways to relieve pain for people with lower limb amputations who have painful nerve endings (stump neuromas). Researchers tested whether using heat energy to treat the nerve (radiofrequency ablation) or injecting an anti-inflammatory steroid was more effective. They measured pain levels, mobility, and quality of life in 26 participants over three months to see which treatment worked better.
