Evidence for the optimal management of acute and chronic phantom pain: a
systematic review
Clinical Journal of Pain. 2002 Mar-April;18(2):84-92. Review
PMID: 11882771 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]
Discussion...: "For late PLP (>2 weeks post operatively), there is
some evidence suggesting consideration of Farabloc. It is unclear how readily
regimens suggested for other neurotic pain states can be applied to patients
with PLP."
...Results: Twelve trials were identified, including 375 patients whose follow-ups ranged in duration from 1 week to 2 years. Only three randomized, controlled studies with parallel groups and three randomized crossover trials were identified. Eight trials examined treatment of acute phantom pain, including epidural treatments (three trials), regional nerve blocks (three trials), treatment with
calcitonin (one trial), and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (one trial). Three trials demonstrated a positive impact of the intervention on phantom limb pain, but the remainder demonstrated no difference between the intervention and control groups. Four trials examined late postoperative interventions, including
transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (two trials) and the use of Farabloc (a metal threaded sock) and ketamine (one trial each). With regard to late postoperative interventions, three of the four trials showed modest short-term reduction of phantom limb pain. There was no relation between the quality of the trial and a positive result of the intervention.

Influence of Weather on Report of Pain

Case Reports
The first publication of documented changes in pain perception
associated with the weather was in the American Journal of Medical Sciences in
1887. This case report described a person with phantom limb pain who concluded
that "approaching storms, dropping barometric pressure and rain were associated
with increased pain complaint" (Shutty et al. 1992). Most investigations
examining the relationship between weather and pain have studied persons
diagnosed with arthritis.
After reviewing many case reports, Rentshler reported in JAMA in 1929 that there
was strong evidence that "warm weather is beneficial and barometric pressure
changes are detrimental to patients with arthritis" (Shutty et al. 1992). Since
then many other studies have concluded that cold weather and changes in
barometric pressure contribute to increased pain in persons diagnosed with
arthritis (Hill 1972; Patberg et al. 1985; Rasker et al. 1986), although some
exceptions have been noted (van de Laar et al. 1991).
