Summary
This study looked at whether a virtual reality (VR) program is a practical and acceptable way to help people with phantom limb pain right after a leg amputation. Twenty participants tried the VR program daily for about 17 sessions, both in the hospital and at home. Researchers measured how much they used it, how they felt about it, and whether more VR use led to less pain. The goal was to see if this approach is worth studying further.
