acetaminophen and Phantom Limb

acetaminophen has been researched along with Phantom Limb in 3 studies

Acetaminophen: Analgesic antipyretic derivative of acetanilide. It has weak anti-inflammatory properties and is used as a common analgesic, but may cause liver, blood cell, and kidney damage.
paracetamol : A member of the class of phenols that is 4-aminophenol in which one of the hydrogens attached to the amino group has been replaced by an acetyl group.

Phantom Limb: Perception of painful and nonpainful phantom sensations that occur following the complete or partial loss of a limb. The majority of individuals with an amputated extremity will experience the impression that the limb is still present, and in many cases, painful. (From Neurol Clin 1998 Nov;16(4):919-36; Brain 1998 Sep;121(Pt 9):1603-30)

( Bénard, A; Bernard, N; Biais, M; Capdevila, X; Nouette-Gaulain, K; Revel, P; Roullet, S; Sztark, F, 2009)
"The prevalences of complex regional pain syndrome, phantom limb pain, chronic donor-site pain, and persistent pain following total joint arthroplasty are alarmingly high."2.44Preventing the development of chronic pain after orthopaedic surgery with preventive multimodal analgesic techniques.
