Summary
This study tests whether a treatment called TENS (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation) can reduce phantom limb pain and improve walking in people who have lost a leg. Fifteen adults with a leg amputation will receive 20 sessions of TENS over about three weeks. Researchers will measure changes in pain, sensation, balance, and gait to see if the treatment helps.
