flag Ultrasound-guided botox injections significantly reduced phantom limb pain in Ukrainian war amputees, with effects lasting up to three months.

flag A study of 160 Ukrainian war amputees found that ultrasound-guided botulinum toxin injections around nerve endings provided significant short-term relief from phantom limb pain, reducing pain by an average of four points on a 10-point scale at one month—far more than standard care. flag While pain relief lasted about three months, comprehensive medical and surgical treatment showed better long-term results. flag The targeted "peri-neuromal" approach, led by U.S. and Ukrainian researchers, may benefit millions with nerve-related pain and could complement existing therapies, though larger trials are needed to assess long-term effectiveness and repeated use.
