Stump infection and limb pain after amputation
Part of Brain & nervous system, Infections, Injuries & trauma, Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a traumatic amputation of an arm or leg
- You can join the study within 4 weeks after surgery
- You are able to understand and sign a consent form
- You did not have chronic pain in the amputated limb before surgery
- You do not have severe memory or thinking problems
- You are not currently dealing with a terminal illness that would prevent follow-up visits

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 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 is looking for people with combat-related arm or leg injuries to see if how they move can predict long-term pain. Researchers hope to better understand who might develop chronic pain and help improve treatment.
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.
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 a surgical approach for people who already had an above-knee or below-knee amputation and now have ongoing pain or skin/stump problems that haven’t improved. It aims to improve comfort and how well the stump area heals, assuming you’re healthy enough for surgery under standard anesthesia.
