Outcomes of amputation due to long-standing therapy-resistant complex regional pain syndrome type I.

CONCLUSION: Amputation can be considered as a treatment for patients with long-standing, therapy-resistant CRPS-I. Amputation can increase mobility and reduce pain, thereby improving the quality of patients' lives. However, approximately one-quarter of participants reported deteriorations in intimacy and self-confidence after the amputation. PMID: 32735019 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
