What Is a Stump Neuroma?

Severe stump pain is severe pain in the stump of the limb after amputation of the patient, which is extremely sensitive locally, and the pain will be aggravated by slight touch. All amputations had neuromas at the severed nerve ends. Electrically stimulated neuroma and found that only slow-conducting myelin fibers are excited without affecting fast-conducting myelin fibers. It is possible that only the myelin fibers grow shoots to the neuroma, so they become painful and sensitive. A- fiber has no such spontaneous discharge activity. These A-delta fibers and C fibers, which may grow to neuromas, originally dominated nociceptors, so the central nervous system interpreted their incoming electrical discharge activity as nociceptive stimulation incoming information. ^[1]
