Het protocol schetst de chirurgische procedure voor de behandeling van pijn na amputatie met behulp van gerichte spierreïnnervatie (TMR). TMR zal worden vergeleken met twee andere chirurgische technieken, met name regeneratieve perifere zenuwinterface (RPNI) en excisie van neuroom, gevolgd door onmiddellijke begraving in de spier in de context van een internationale, gerandomiseerde gecontroleerde studie.
