Zap away ghost pain? new device trial offers hope for amputees
NCT ID NCT04103983
Summary
This study tested two new electrical stimulation devices designed to reduce phantom limb pain—the feeling of pain in a limb that has been amputated. Researchers recruited 109 UK adults with this pain to use either an interactive or a non-interactive device at home for three weeks. The goal was to see if these devices, which aim to retrain the brain's pain signals, could effectively lower pain levels and improve quality of life.
