Phantom limb pain.

Abstract

Phantom limb pain is a common sequel to amputation, whether traumatic or surgical. Provision of a pain-free interval before surgery is likely to reduce the incidence of the condition. The possible mechanisms of pain perception in an absent body part and the reasons for the frequent failure of conventional therapy are discussed here.

Stimulation of axon growth from the spinal cord by a regenerating limb blastema in newts.

The effects of limb blastemas of Pleurodeles waltl on axon growth from fragments of spinal cord were studied in vitro. Cultured in a defined medium, spinal cord fragments regenerated sparse, short axons. The culture of spinal fragments in the presence of blastemas greatly enhanced the length, number and survival of axons. Testing separately each of the two components of the blastema showed that only the mesenchyme exerts a neurotropic effect on the spinal fragments. Other tissues such as muscle or skin had a limited neurotrophic effect. Additionally, the neurotrophic activity of blastemas seems to be dependent of its proliferation status. Compared with blastemas of regenerating limbs from young animals, irradiated blastemas (devoid of mitotic activity) and blastemas of regenerating limbs from old animals or differentiated blastemas (both characterized by a low mitotic activity), exhibited a weaker neurotrophic influence. The blastema neurotrophic factor is not an attachment molecule but a soluble one and cannot be nerve growth factor (NGF) or fibroblast growth factor (FGF). It has a relatively low molecular weight (less than 15 kDa) and its protein nature was ascertained by its sensitivity to heating and proteases. As the production of this mesenchyme-derived neurotrophic factor depends upon mesenchymal cell proliferation of the blastema, we suggest that there is loop of positive regulation between spinal nerves and blastema. Blastema tissues may stimulate nerve regeneration allowing the stimulation of proliferation of blastema cells by regenerating nerve fibers. Alternatively, blastema cells may produce a neurotrophic factor whose secretion might be dependent on cell proliferation.

Graftskin heals an ulcer on an amputation stump.

BACKGROUND: A 51-year-old man presented with a chronic ulcer of 28 years' duration on the amputation stump of his right foot. The prosthesis was aggravating the ulcer, despite multiple therapies. OBJECTIVE: To heal the ulcer and avoid a below-the-knee amputation. Graftskin, a bilayered living skin construct, was applied. METHODS: Graftskin was sutured in place following gentle debridement. Pentoxifylline was given to improve circulation. The dressing was changed 5 days after Graftskin application, then weekly for 7 weeks. RESULTS: Crusting was evident at 3 weeks, with an underlying white coating at 4 weeks. By 7 weeks, full reepithelialization was present under the crust and no ulceration remained. Over succeeding weeks the ulcer bed became flush with the surrounding skin. The patient's pain ceased, and some sensation and warmth returned to the stump. CONCLUSION: Graftskin treatment successfully healed a chronic ulcer, possibly preventing a more extensive amputation.

Brain somatic representation of phantom and intact limb: a fMRI study case report.

Reports on phantom limb patients concerning neuronal reorganization using non-invasive methods have focused mainly on the cortical regions and suggest the presence of pain as the cause of this reorganization. The phantom limb, however, includes other somatic and motor sensations other than pain. Here we describe the results of non-painful stimulation in cortical and subcortical lateralization and reorganization and also examine the involvement of subcortical structures in phantom limb telescoping perception. We describe an enlarged contralateral cortical representation of the stump, a cortical and thalamic bilateral representation of the remaining leg, and a neuronal correlate of a telescoping perception of the phantom limb. The missing leg produces an enlarged cortical representation due to abnormal information and the remaining leg has a bilateral SII representation, which could be related to new, compensatory functions. The telescoping perception of a phantom limb by the stimulation of misallocation points was correlated with lenticular nuclei, thalamic and cingulate gyrus activation. We therefore propose that the reorganization concept of a phantom limb, applied mainly to the cortex, must extend to the thalamic and the somatosensory and motor systems (pathways and relay nuclei).
