超声道制导肉毒杆菌注射大大减少了乌克兰被截肢的战争截肢者的幻肢疼痛,其影响长达3个月。 Ultrasound-guided botox injections significantly reduced phantom limb pain in Ukrainian war amputees, with effects lasting up to three months.

对160名乌克兰战争截肢者进行的一项研究发现,神经末端周围超声波制导肉毒杆菌毒素注射提供了大量短期缓解幻肢疼痛的措施,使疼痛平均减少四个点,每10点,比标准护理高出一个月。 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. 虽然减轻疼痛持续了约三个月,但全面的医疗和外科治疗取得较好的长期结果。 While pain relief lasted about three months, comprehensive medical and surgical treatment showed better long-term results. 以美国和乌克兰研究人员为首的定向“围产期神经元”方法可能会使数百万人因神经相关疼痛而受益,并可补充现有的治疗方法,尽管需要进行更大的试验来评估长期有效性和重复使用。 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.
