Amputation in childhood and nerve pain study
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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.
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 trial tests a new approach to suppress phantom limb pain using neuromodulation methods. It may help people who have had a limb amputated and continue to experience persistent pain.
This study tests a new type of artificial limb (neuroprosthesis) that sends signals back to your brain to help reduce phantom limb pain and improve your daily life. You may be able to join if you have had an arm or leg amputation at least 6 months ago and have persistent pain.
This trial tests a surgery called RPNI to treat painful nerve growths (neuromas) in people who have lost a leg. The goal is to reduce severe pain and improve the ability to use a prosthetic limb.
This study looks at why some people with cancer develop nerve pain (neuropathic pain) during treatment. By tracking your health and symptoms, researchers hope to find ways to predict and prevent this side effect.
