Association of Peripheral Serum MiRNAs with Persistent Phantom Limb Pain in Individuals with Amputation.
Abstract
Individuals with major limb amputation(s) frequently experience phantom limb sensations, which are described as vivid impressions of either parts or entire missing limb(s). Despite the high incidence and prevalence of phantom limb pain (PLP), the underlying pathophysiology of PLP remains poorly understood. The objective of this study was to evaluate a possible role of microRNAs (miRNAs) in the pathophysiology of PLP.
