Study Summary

Subjects are being asked to participate in this study because they have an arm or leg amputation and have developed pain related to a neuroma (an ongoing localized pain related to a cut nerve ending). The investigators are studying how targeted reinnervation (TR) helps to both treat neuroma pain and to have increased prosthetic control. This surgery connects these cut nerve endings to nerves going into nearby nonfunctional muscles. This surgery was developed to allow amputees to have better prosthesis control. By chance, neuroma pain improved significantly with TR. The investigators, therefore, are conducting this clinical trial. The investigators will ask all participants to fill out a questionnaire both before and after surgery. This will help us understand how a neuroma affects the quality of life of amputee will allow us to understand how to best improve neuroma pain and prosthesis control. In order to confirm the presence and location of the neuroma before surgery, a magnetic resonance image (MRI) will be performed. Taking these pictures requires subjects to lie still for a short period of time but does not involve any invasive procedures.

Primary Outcome

Compare patient-reported pre-operative survey results to those after surgical intervention at intervals over time (1 month, 3 months,6 months, 9 months,1 year, and then every six months thereafter until the conclusion of the study).
