Amputee patients had higher phobic anxiety, state anxiety, trait anxiety and sleep disturbance scores (p<0.05) than the controls. No difference was determined in terms of psychiatric symptoms between the phantom pain and no phantom pain groups (p>0.05). There were significant negative co...Continue Reading
