Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The primary endpoint is amputation-related pain. For patients with acute amputations, the primary endpoint is collected at three measurement points (acute, follow-up after 3 months and 6 months). For rehabilitation patients, amputation-related pain will be assessed at four measurement points (admission, discharge, 3 months, 6 months). The Postamputation Pain Questionnaire according to Winter et al. (2001) will be used to assess the primary endpoint.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
- Sensory function (sharp-blunt discrimination, hot-cold discrimination, two-point discrimination, tactile threshold) - Functional impairment (DASH) - Sensory impairment (CISS) - Satisfaction with treatment (Zuf-8) - Psychological impairment and quality of life (SF-12, HADS, IES) - Functional testing (joint mobility, hand strength, Jebsen-Taylor test, Perdue Pegboard test)
