An investigation into the effects of a virtual reality system on phantom limb pain: a pilot study
British Journal of Pain, 2020 Background: There is no first-line treatment available for phantom limb pain (PLP). For some years, there has been interest in the use of mirrors and other techniques based on visual feedback.

Charcot Neuroarthropathy is Associated with Higher Rates of Phantom Limb after Major Amputation
Foot & Ankle Orthopaedics, 2022 Category: Diabetes; Trauma Introduction/Purpose: Phantom limb is a complication associated with lower extremity amputation. However, its rate in patients with Charcot Neuroarthropathy that undergo major amputation is not well-described.

Phantom Pain Reduction by Non-ionizing Electromagnetic Treatment [PDF]
, 2010 Based on our years of experience testing a technique called non-ionizing Electromagnetic-Own-Signal-Treatment (EMOST), here, we present our preliminary results for phantom pain reduction by this method under clinical circumstances.

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Global Open, 2020 Background: More than 75% of major limb amputees experience chronic pain; however, data on severity and experience of pain are inconsistent. Without a benchmark using quantitative patient-reported outcomes, it is difficult to critically assess the ...

The phantom limb in dreams [PDF]
Consciousness and Cognition, 2008 Mulder and colleagues [Mulder, T., Hochstenbach, J., Dijkstra, P. U., Geertzen, J. H. B. (2008). Born to adapt, but not in your dreams. Consciousness and Cognition, 17, 1266-1271.] report that a majority of amputees continue to experience a normally-limbed body during their night dreams.

Sensory stimulation enhances phantom limb perception and movement decoding
medRxiv, 2020 Objective. A major challenge for controlling a prosthetic arm is communication between the device and the user’s phantom limb. We show the ability to enhance phantom limb perception and improve movement decoding through targeted transcutaneous electrical

Examination of anticipated chemical shift and shape distortion effect on materials commonly used in prosthetic socket fabrication when measured using MRI: a validation study [PDF]
, 2013 The quality of lower-limb prosthetic socket fit is influenced by shape and volume consistency during the residual limb shape-capturing process (i.e., casting). Casting can be quantified with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technology.
