Abstract

Phantom limb pain (PLP) is a common complaint in individuals with limb absence. PLP can persist chronically, necessitating effective management strategies beyond temporary pharmacological relief and invasive surgeries. Phantom motor execution, implemented through virtual reality (VR)-based therapy, has emerged as an effective alternative option to help manage PLP. This paper presents preliminary findings of an ongoing large-scale clinical study including individuals with upper or lower limb absence evaluating the effectiveness of a portable device for at-home PLP management as an accessible solution for VR-based therapy.
