436 people experiencing phantom limb pain, whose amputations were unrelated to military service, filled out a survey concerning stump, phantom and other pain problems as well as demographic data. Their responses were compared with responses of American veterans, whose amputations were related to military service, who filled out an identical survey. The experiences of the two groups and the characteristics of the reported phantom sensations were remarkably similar. Treatment effectiveness was equally dismal for both groups with about 1% reporting effective relief.
436名遭受幻肢痛的人填写了一份关于残肢、幻肢及其他疼痛问题以及人口统计学数据的调查问卷,他们的截肢与军事服役无关。他们的回答与填写了相同调查问卷的美国退伍军人的回答进行了比较,这些退伍军人的截肢与军事服役有关。两组人的经历以及所报告的幻肢感觉特征非常相似。两组的治疗效果同样糟糕,约1%的人报告疼痛得到有效缓解。
