Pain after arm or leg amputation
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at pain in the days right after a limb amputation surgery. It aims to better understand and manage early pain, which could help improve recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have had an amputation surgery on an arm or leg.
- You do not have severe memory problems or dementia.
- You are not in critical condition or have passed away within 48 hours of surgery.
- This is not a second amputation on the same limb, and you are not here for a stump revision.

This study checks how patients report pain and recovery over time after surgery. It may help improve how hospitals understand and manage pain after operations.
This trial tests a surgical procedure called targeted muscle reinnervation (TMR) to prevent pain after a leg amputation. The goal is to see if rerouting nerves during amputation can reduce phantom limb pain or stump pain.
This study looks at pain and day-to-day functioning after someone has a limb removed due to surgery. The results may help doctors better understand what to expect and how to improve comfort and mobility after amputation.
This study looks at whether an infection in the stump (the remaining part of the limb after amputation) can lead to long-term pain. It follows people who had a traumatic amputation to understand this link and help improve pain treatment.
This trial studies different surgical approaches to reduce persistent pain in the leftover part of an amputated limb. You may be able to join if your post-amputation pain has lasted more than a year and your pain level stays high despite stable pain treatments and prosthesis use.
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.
