ABSTRACT
Phantom Limb Pain (PLP) is an excruciating type of pain that gives a sensation of the continued presence of an amputated limb. Physicians have used many methods and drugs to treat PLP. We present a case of continued sciatic nerve block performed for PLP that developed after a traumatic amputation. We conclude that infusing a local anesthetic via a perineural sciatic catheter effectively treated PLP and stump pain after traumatic leg amputation.
