First seen Mar 06, 2026 · Last updated May 19, 2026 · Updated 9 times
Summary
This study tests whether a non-invasive treatment called TENS (gentle electrical pulses through the skin) can reduce phantom limb pain and improve balance and walking in people who have lost a leg. Fifteen adults with above- or below-knee amputations will attend 20 sessions over about a month. Researchers will measure changes in pain, sensation, and movement using questionnaires and walking tests.
