Summary

This study looked at whether a virtual reality (VR) program is practical and acceptable for people who have phantom limb pain after a leg amputation. Twenty participants tried the VR program daily for about 17 sessions in the hospital, at home, or in therapy clinics. Researchers measured how much pain and nausea they felt, how acceptable the program was, and how long they used it. The goal was to see if this approach could help manage pain in the days and weeks after surgery.
