The purpose of this study is to see how Post Amputation Pain (PAP) affects the body and brain
by using sensory testing (such as pinprick testing), taking pictures of your brain (using a
functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) machine) and biomedical interventions (such as
an injection of pain medicine). All medicines and the fMRI machine used during this study are
FDA approved. The investigators hope that by learning the causes of PAP, the investigators
can help future amputees.
