Summary

This early study tests whether a neuroprosthesis can restore touch sensation to the breast and reduce chronic pain in 8 women who have had both breasts removed and are undergoing reconstruction. Researchers will use tiny electrical pulses to stimulate nerves and measure what participants feel. The goal is to gather information for future, larger trials on safety and effectiveness.
