Abstract

Study the therapeutic effect of phantom limb pain by fitting prosthesis at early stage after amputation. 30 amputees fitted with proshtesis are selected randomly and divided into 5 control group according to the amputation time. VAS pain evaluation method was used to evaluate the phantom limb pain. The phantom limb of amputees who were fitted with proshtesis after 1-3 monthes of amputation was relieved. The clinical study results showed that fitting prosthesis at early stage after amputation can relieve phantom limb pain effectively.
