This study looks at whether a specific method of numbing the leg (regional anesthesia) helps control pain in people with war-related leg injuries. If you qualify, your pain and recovery data will be reviewed to see how well this type of pain relief worked.
This study looks at whether a wound treatment called negative pressure wound therapy (a vacuum device that helps wounds heal) can predict if someone will have long-term pain after a war-related injury. It aims to help doctors better manage pain for people with these injuries.
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 tests a new type of nerve stimulation device placed in the leg to see if it can reduce long-term pain after amputation. It's for people who have already had nerve surgery and still have significant pain.
This study compares two ways to manage pain after surgery for a leg injury: one uses a combination of medicines, and the other uses a nerve block (a shot that numbs the area). The goal is to find out which method provides better pain relief with fewer side effects.
This study is testing a treatment called a cryo nerve block to reduce pain after amputation, including phantom limb pain. It will look at whether freezing the nerve during surgery helps people feel less pain and use less pain medicine.
