CASTILLO, B. et al. Phantom limb pain and intrathecal ziconotide pump: a valid combination for tolerant or refractory patients. []. , 18, 1, pp.21-23. ISSN 1134-8046.
We report the case of a 30-year-old female patient with phantom limb pain in right lower extremity refractory to oral analgesic treatment. She was referred to our Pain Unit where we decided to place a ziconotide intrathecal pump. The result was an improvement in pain that allowed the patient to regain her daily life.
