Abstract
We report a patient whose severe phantom limb pain was alleviated by continuous epidural block and sciatic nerve block. A 73-year-old woman developed phantom limb pain and stump pain after below-knee amputation for arterioscleotic obliterans. After receiving continuous epidural block for 2 weeks, her phantom limb pain and stump pain gradually decreased. Pulsed radiofrequency under ultrasound guidance was later performed to the sciatic nerve, and the pain was well controlled.
