Chronic Neuropathic Pain Following Hand Burns: Etiology, Treatment, and Long-Term Outcomes.
Authors
Abstract
Chronic neuropathic pain (CNP) after burn injury to the hand/upper extremity is relatively common, but not well described in the literature. This study characterizes patients with CNP after hand/upper extremity burns to help guide risk stratification and treatment strategies. We hypothesize that multiple risk factors contribute to the development of CNP and refractory responses to treatment.
