Nerve Surgery Results for Pain After Amputation
Part of Cancer, Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have severe pain in the area of your amputation that hasn't been controlled by other treatments
- You are able to understand and consent to the study without help due to confusion or memory problems
- You have not had radiation therapy on the limb that was amputated
- You are healthy enough to safely undergo general anesthesia (being put to sleep for surgery)

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 compares two surgical techniques for treating nerve pain after a finger amputation. It tests whether reconnecting the nerve endings or removing the nerve ending reduces pain better, and your participation may help improve care for future patients.
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 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 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 tests a nerve stimulation suit to help manage pain in people with amputations who also have pain in multiple body areas. It may help reduce pain and improve daily function.
