Symptoms of PTSD Associated With Painful and Nonpainful Vicarious Reactivity Following Amputation

Abstract: Although the experience of vicarious sensations when observing another in pain have been described postamputation, the underlying mechanisms are unknown. We investigated whether vicarious sensations are related to posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms and chronic pain. In Study 1, 236 amputees completed questionnaires about phantom limb phenomena and vicarious sensations to both innocuous and painful sensory experiences of others. There was a 10.2% incidence of vicarious sensations, which was significa… Show more

“…In particular, anxious vicarious pain responders show poorly regulated sympathetic arousal under stress, reflecting insufficient inhibitory control via the parasympathetic nervous system (Nazarewicz, Verdejo‐Garcia, & Giummarra, ). Likewise, a subgroup of amputee vicarious pain responders reported hyperarousal and reexperiencing posttraumatic stress symptoms, implicating poorer capacity to control arousal and reactivity (Giummarra, Fitzgibbon, Tsao et al, ). However, in the above studies, only vicarious pain responders with higher trait anxiety and/or more severe and disabling chronic pain had poorer autonomic regulation or hyperreactivity, respectively.…”

“…recruiting participants prior to amputation) (Agha, 2017;Ahmed et al, 2017;Larbig et al, 2019). Five studies evaluated populations with traumatic reasons for amputation (Aldington et al, 2014;Buchheit et al, 2016;Poor Zamany Nejat Kermany, 2016;Rafferty et al, 2015;Resnik et al, 2019), four evaluated atraumatic populations (Ahmed et al, 2017;Larbig et al, 2019;Morgan et al, 2017;Richardson et al, 2015) and six studies evaluated a combined aetiology population (Agha, 2017;Bekrater-Bodmann et al, 2015;Giummarra et al, 2015;Razmus et al, 2017;Richardson et al, 2018;Streit et al, 2015). Five studies recruited lower limb amputees (Agha, 2017;Morgan et al, 2017;Rafferty et al, 2015;Richardson et al, 2015Richardson et al, , 2018, one study recruited upper limb amputees (Resnik et al, 2019) and the remainder evaluated a mixed upper/lower limb amputee population.…”
