    Area of Science:

    • Medical Research
    • Pharmacology
    • Rehabilitation Medicine

    Background:

    • Phantom limb pain is a common and debilitating condition affecting amputees.
    • Existing treatments for phantom limb pain have variable efficacy and side effect profiles.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of tiapride in managing phantom limb pain and improving prosthesis tolerance in amputees.
    • To assess the impact of tiapride on the integration of the prosthesis and overall patient well-being.

    Main Methods:

    • A study involving 20 amputee patients was conducted at a Thermal Army Hospital.
    • Patients received a mean dosage of 300 mg of tiapride for treatment.
    • Outcomes were assessed based on pain reduction, prosthesis integration, and overall tolerance.

    Main Results:

    • 11 out of 20 patients experienced excellent results with tiapride treatment.
    • 6 out of 20 patients reported good results.
    • Significant improvements were observed in the early management of soreness, leading to better prosthesis integration and tolerance.

    Conclusions:

    • Tiapride demonstrates significant efficacy in alleviating phantom limb pain and associated discomfort in amputees.
    • The drug improves the integration and tolerance of prostheses, enhancing the quality of life for amputees.
    • Early intervention with tiapride appears particularly beneficial for managing post-amputation soreness.
