Neurostimulation Spinal Cord Stimulation Phantom Limb Pain Pain Suppression Upper Limb Amputation

ClinConnect Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of neuromodulation for relief of phantom limb pain (PLP) using peripheral nerve (PNS) and spinal cord stimulation (SCS) with implantable electrodes.

The study is conducted to collect information on the role of non-adaptive neuroplasticity and inhibitory descending antinociceptive influences, which determine the effect of peripheral nerve and spinal cord stimulation with implanted electrodes in patients with phantom limb pain as a result of amputation of the upper limb. Neuromodulation is a potential treatment option for chronic pai...
