Sponsor's own description

Phantom limb is difficult to manage and has a significant impact on the patient's quality of life. At present, the scientific evidence shows that the infusion of local anesthetics with epidural and perineural catheters in the perioperative phase correlates with good pain control in the immediate post-operative, expressed in terms of reduced demand for opiates by the patient undergoing amputation. of lower limb. Few are studies that highlight the effectiveness of such treatments in the medium and long-term prevention of phantom limb syndrome. The study aims to evaluate the incidence in the medium term of the phantom limb in trans femoral and trans tibial amputees and the possible relationship with the use of adequate pre and perioperative analgesia using peridural and peripheral nerve catheters. The results of the study could provide indications about the need to modify both the perioperative analgesic therapy protocol and also rehabilitation for lower limb amputation surgery in order to reduce the prevalence of phantom limb syndrome with consequent improvement in quality of life.
