Pain Among an Inpatient Complex Chronic Care Population of Residents with and without Missing Limbs.
Abstract
Limb loss occurs for various reasons (trauma, infection, vascular diseases, tumors, congenital absence). Limb loss is known to result in several types of pain. Little is known about pain in residents with missing limbs admitted to complex chronic care (CCC) facilities. This study examined the presence of pain and its intensity in CCC residents with and without missing limbs.
