Article Synopsis
- Phantom limb pain (PLP) is a common and challenging condition following amputations, and treatment options have been largely ineffective for many patients.
- A case study of a 64-year-old man showed that after a decade of unsuccessful treatments, Fu's Subcutaneous Needling (FSN), an acupuncture method, led to significant pain relief and reduced medication use after just four days of treatment.
- A systematic review of existing studies indicates that needling therapies can be effective and safe for PLP, although FSN had not been previously documented for this condition, suggesting it could be a promising new treatment avenue.
