They found that at 3 days, 6 and 12 months offollow-up, 29%, 63% and 38% in the epidural group versus 44%, 88% and 50% in the perineural group had phantom pain p = 0.32; p = 0.25; p= 0.61, respectively and concluded that epidural blockade within 24 h of the amputation is not better than local per-ineural anesthetic in preventing PLP.
Concluyeron que el bloqueo epidural antes de 24 h de la amputación no es superior a la infusión local de anestésico perineural en prevenir el DMF.
