Thirty-eight Ukrainian patients with war-related limb amputation and a painful neuroma(s) who underwent hydrodissection and opioid therapy within 6 months of amputation were compared with 36 patients who received opioids alone. Co-primary outcome measures were median reduction from baseline in average residual limb and PLP at 12 weeks.
