Low Back Pain After Combat Leg Loss
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at whether the level of leg amputation (below or above the knee) affects how much low back pain veterans experience after combat injury. The goal is to better understand and treat pain in the lower back that develops after amputation.
