title: [Post-amputation pain in patients with vascular diseases: clinical characteristics].
abstract: On the base of a study performed on 34 patients who underwent an amputation since 1981 to 1987, we evaluated the incidence of postamputation syndromes such as phantom limb, phantom pain, stump pain analyzing their variations during 6 years. The patients were divided in 6 groups according to the time gone by from the date of operation. The results reveals a not significant decrease of incidence of postamputation syndromes even though their frequency and intensity show a relative improvement.
