Induced sensorimotor brain plasticity controls pain in phantom limb patients [PDF]

Nature Communications, 2016
Pain in a phantom limb after limb deafferentation may be due to maladaptive sensorimotor representation. Here the authors find that sensorimotor plasticity induced by BMI training with the phantom hand, contrary to expectation, increased pain while ...

Phantom Limb Pain Management. [PDF]

J Hand Surg Am
With an estimated 2 million major limb amputees and projections reaching 3.6 million by 2050, the increasing prevalence of limb loss in the United States underscores the importance of addressing complications associated with limb loss. Phantom limb pain (PLP) is a common and often chronic condition affecting 40% to 80% of amputees.

Is Phantom Limb Awareness Necessary for the Treatment of Phantom Limb Pain? [PDF]

Neurologia Medico-Chirurgica
Phantom limb pain is attributed to abnormal sensorimotor cortical representations. Various feedback treatments have been applied to induce the reorganization of the sensorimotor cortical representations to reduce pain.

Robotic-Enhanced Prosthetic Liners for Vibration Therapy: Reducing Phantom Limb Pain in Transfemoral Amputees [PDF]

Sensors
Phantom limb pain, a common challenge for amputees, lacks effective treatment options. Vibration therapy is a promising non-pharmacologic intervention for reducing pain intensity, but its efficacy in alleviating phantom limb pain requires further ...
