Phantom limb pain and elevated vacuum

Stephan Manucharian

Dear List:
A TT patient of mine, seasoned amputee, after having been fit with an elevated vac system reports an increase in intensity and frequency of phantom limb pain when not wearing the prosthesis, like at night. Do you know of any anecdotal or scientific reports about this phenomenon?
