Download – Pain and Rehabilitation from Landmine Injuries

Pain, particularly phantom limb pain (PLP), is highly prevalent in landmine victims. These victims, often poor and rural, have much to lose from injury and disability. Relief agencies such as the Red Cross are ill equipped to deal with pain problems, and specialist pain relief organizations such as Douleur Sans Frontières have limited resources.
