Groundbreaking surgery aims to give amputees better control, restore 'Feeling' in missing limbs
NCT ID NCT04063592
Summary
This study is testing a new surgical technique for people who have already had a leg amputation. The surgery aims to modify the remaining limb to allow for better control of advanced prosthetic limbs, restore the sense of where the limb is in space (proprioception), and potentially reduce phantom limb pain. Researchers will enroll 26 adults to see if this revised surgical approach works better than standard methods.
