Phase N/A

Brief description of study.

The purpose of this study is to try to determine why phantom limb pain occurs and by extension how to control and soothe that pain using sensory feedback, that is electrical stimulation of the amputated site.

Eligibility of study

You may be eligible for this study if you meet the following criteria:

  • Conditions: phantom limb pain
  • Age: 18 years - 70 years
  • Gender: All

This study investigates the reasons behind phantom limb pain, which is a sensation of pain in a limb that has been amputated. The study aims to understand this condition better and explore ways to manage it using sensory feedback. Sensory feedback involves using electrical stimulation at the site of amputation to provide relief from pain.

Participants in this study will undergo procedures involving electrical stimulation at the amputated site. This method aims to offer sensory feedback to help manage phantom limb pain. The study will explore how this feedback can influence the sensation of pain, potentially providing a way to control it.

  • Who can participate: Participants must be adults aged 18 and older who have undergone limb amputation. Additional eligibility criteria may apply based on the study's requirements.
  • Study details: Participants will receive electrical stimulation at the site of amputation. This stimulation serves as sensory feedback to help manage phantom limb pain.
