Over two million people in the U.S. live with limb loss, and many experience ongoing pain afterward. This pain may come in different forms:
Phantom limb pain often begins soon after surgery. While it may fade for some, it becomes a long-term challenge for many. Poor pain control around the time of surgery may increase the risk of chronic symptoms.
TMR is an advanced surgical procedure designed to help relieve chronic nerve-related pain after amputation. During the procedure, surgeons re-route severed nerves into nearby healthy muscles.
Redirecting the nerves gives them a new purpose, essentially “closing the loop” to prevent misfiring pain signals. This not only decreases pain but may also improve your ability to use a prosthetic comfortably. TMR has shown promising results in helping amputees return to daily life with less pain and better function.
