Abstract:
Objective To study the effect electrode placement of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation(TENS) on phantom limb pain in the postoperative phase of amputation.Methods 60 cases with phantom limb pain after amputation were equal divided into the treatment group and the control group.The electrodes were placed in the contralateral side similar as phantom limb in the treatment group,but were placed at the stumps in the control group.Results After two course of treatment,93.3% of the treatment group improved,and 76.7% very improved,which were better than those of the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion Electrode placement of TENS effects the different result of treating phantom limb pain.
