Nerve surgery for pain after cancer amputation
Part of Cancer, Injuries & trauma, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests two surgical techniques—target muscle re-innervation and regenerative peripheral nerve interfaces—alone or together, to help reduce pain felt in the remaining limb or the missing limb (phantom pain) after amputation for cancer. The goal is to find the best way to manage pain and improve quality of life.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- Your amputation is being done because of cancer.
- You have healthy nerves available in the area of the amputation that can be used for the surgery.
- You are able to give your informed consent to participate.
- You are expected to live longer than 3 months so the surgery has time to work.

This study looks at nerve pain in children and teens who had an amputation before a certain age. It aims to understand how common and how severe this pain is after amputation, and uses simple questionnaires to find out.
This trial tests a new nerve surgery technique to help people with above-knee leg amputations have better control of their prosthetic leg. The goal is to improve how well the prosthesis responds to your movements.
This study tests a new training program to help your brain and muscles work together after an amputation or nerve surgery. It may improve how you move and feel after surgery.
This study compares two ways to manage pain after a below-knee amputation: one uses a standard numbing medicine (local anesthetic block), and the other adds a mild electrical stimulation to the nerve to see if it provides better pain relief. If you qualify, you may get extra help with pain after surgery.
This study tests a nerve stimulation treatment to see if it can help reduce pain and improve feeling in the feet for people with nerve damage caused by chemotherapy. You will receive the treatment and have some tests to measure how your nerves are working.
This study evaluates how well nerve surgery works for patients with severe, persistent pain in the area where a limb was amputated. Researchers will review outcomes to understand if this surgical approach helps reduce pain that hasn't responded to other treatments.
