Brain zaps & mirrors tested to ease ghost limb pain
NCT ID NCT02487966
Summary
This study is testing whether combining two non-drug treatments can reduce phantom limb pain after amputation. Researchers are comparing brain stimulation (tDCS) and mirror therapy, alone and together, in 132 adults with chronic pain from traumatic leg amputation. The goal is to see if this combination approach provides better pain relief than either treatment alone.
