Phantom limb pain varies greatly between individuals with amputation. However, most research assumes more homogeneity and analyzes data compiled from multiple participants as a group. This study examined feasibility and acceptability of methods for investigating factors contributing to pain on the individual level in attempt to inform patient-specific treatment recommendations.
Learning Objectives:
Describe differences in individual-level and group-level analyses of phantom limb pain.
Discuss heterogeneity in personal and environmental factors that can affect phantom limb pain episodes.
Explore clinical opportunities for patient-specific assessment and treatment of phantom limb pain.
