cpoj-33061	Guo, Shigong; Mansour, Ramy; Henderson Slater, David	ULTRASOUND-GUIDED CONTINUOUS RADIOFREQUENCY ABLATION OF PAINFUL RESIDUAL LIMB NEUROMA IN INDIVIDUALS WITH LIMB AMPUTATION- A RETROSPECTIVE CASE SERIES	2019	10	.pdf	application/pdf	6552	337	52	Although the mechanism of interaction is not fully understood, residual limb pain and phantom pain often coexist post-amputation and Montoya et al have reported a significant correlation between the severities of these two types of pain in individuals with limb amputation.6 There is a paucity of studies in the literature concerning ultrasound-guided (US) radiofrequency ablation (RFA) as a treatment for residual limb neuroma pain in terms of its effectiveness in reducing pain and analgesic requirements, improving comfort when wearing prosthetic limbs and reducing the need for surgical intervention This study aims to investigate the effects of US-guided RFA as a treatment for residual limb neuroma- associated pain. Continuous RFA is known to be more effective than pulsed RFA in the treatment of facet joint-related low back pain 14-16 and a similar trend may also be apparent in residual limb neuroma associated pain in individuals with limb amputation.	cache/cpoj-33061.pdf	txt/cpoj-33061.txt
