TMR Nerve sponsored a talk on TMR and post-amputation pain at the 2022 annual meeting of AAOP, the American Association of Orthotists and Prosthetists. The talk was given by Dr. David Brown, Assistant Professor of Surgery in the Division of Plastic, Maxillofacial and Oral Surgery at Duke University. Although his lecture was geared toward clinicians, we wanted to include it on the TMR Nerve site for anyone who may be interested in the science behind TMR. You can watch the video below.
Please be aware that the presentation contains graphic surgical content.

Targeted Muscle Reinnervation (TMR) is a surgical treatment that is gaining acceptance for nerve pain associated with amputation.
TMR is not a treatment option for patients with spinal cord injuries, brachial plexus injuries, or who are generally not healthy enough for surgery. The procedure does present typical risks of surgery. Patients may experience a temporary increase in pain as part of the nerve healing process. Your physician will help you determine whether TMR is right for you.
