Phantom eye pain (PEP) affects nearly a quarter of patients after enucleation surgery. This persistent pain is significantly linked to other perioperative pain symptoms, including ocular pain and headaches.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Pain Medicine
  • Surgical Complications

Context:

  • Phantom limb pain is a recognized complication after amputation.
  • Limited data exists regarding phantom eye pain (PEP) following enucleation (eye removal).
  • This study investigates PEP incidence and associated factors after a standardized enucleation procedure.

Purpose:

  • To determine the incidence of phantom eye pain (PEP) in patients who underwent enucleation with primary orbital implant.
  • To analyze the relationship between PEP and preoperative/postoperative pain symptoms.

Summary:

  • A questionnaire survey of 94 enucleation patients revealed PEP in 24 (approximately 25%).
  • Patients experiencing PEP reported higher incidences of ocular pain and headaches.

Related Experiment Videos

  • A history of prolonged preoperative ocular pain (over 12 months) was strongly associated with developing PEP.

    • Impact:

    • Phantom eye pain is a notable complication in approximately 25% of enucleation patients.
    • PEP is significantly correlated with other perioperative pain experiences.
    • Findings highlight the importance of assessing and managing preoperative pain to potentially mitigate PEP.
