First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 04, 2026 · Updated 29 times
Summary
This study tests if a portable brain stimulation device (tDCS) used at home, along with sensory training, can reduce phantom limb pain in people with amputations. About 290 adults who feel pain at least once a week will either use the device plus training or continue their usual care. The goal is to see if this easy-to-use approach works better than standard treatments alone.
