Postamputation, clinical markers of pain-related peripheral and central nervous system hypersensitivity remain understudied. This study aimed to identify whether adults with postamputation pain demonstrate greater pain sensitivity in primary (ie, amputated region) and secondary (ie, nonamputated region) sites, as compared with pain-free peers and controls with intact limbs.
