Phantom Limb Pain After Amputation
Preventing Chronification of Phantom Limb Pain Through Mirror Therapy in Conjunction With tDCS
Background: Most amputees experience phantom limb pain (PLP), for years after amputation. Virtually all PLP research to date has focused on the mechanisms of chronic PLP, ignoring the mechanisms of chronification.
