• Neuropathic pain after childhood amputation

  This project sees how common phantom and residual limb neuropathic pain is and how it affects children and teens who had limb amputations.

  Recruiting Hopitaux de Saint-Maurice · Saint-Maurice · NCT07401966

• Effects of magnetic stimulation on phantom limb pain in amputees

  This study tests if using magnetic stimulation can help reduce phantom limb pain in people who have had upper limb amputations.

  Recruiting Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology · Moscow · NCT06813937

• Preventing pain after lower limb amputation using targeted muscle reinnervation

  This study is testing if a new technique called Targeted Muscle Reinnervation can help reduce pain after lower limb amputation compared to standard nerve handling.

  Recruiting Leiden University Medical Center · Amsterdam, North Holland and 6 other locations · NCT06719245

• Evaluating a neuroprosthesis to reduce phantom limb pain and improve quality of life

  This study is testing a new device to see if it can help people with phantom limb pain feel better and improve their experience with bionic limbs.

• Home-based rehabilitation for phantom limb pain in veterans with amputations

  This study is testing a mobile app that helps veterans with amputations manage their phantom limb pain through home-based exercises and techniques.

  Recruiting VA Office of Research and Development · Minneapolis, Minnesota · NCT06106984

• Non-invasive brain stimulation techniques for neurological rehabilitation

  This study is testing a new brain stimulation method called 'mirror-PAS' to see if it can help people with neurological conditions like stroke and phantom limb pain recover movement and feel less pain compared to standard methods.

  Recruiting Istituto Auxologico Italiano · Milan, Lombardy · NCT05766059

• Home-based treatment for phantom limb pain using brain stimulation and sensory training

  This study is testing whether a new home-based treatment combining brain stimulation and sensory training can help people with phantom limb pain feel better compared to their usual care.

  Recruiting Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital · Cambridge, Massachusetts · NCT05188183

• Comparing surgical techniques for postamputation pain relief

  This study is testing three different surgical methods to see which one helps people who have had a limb amputated feel less pain in their residual limb, neuroma, and phantom sensations.

  Recruiting Prometei Pain Rehabilitation Center · Chicago, Illinois and 8 other locations · NCT05009394

NIH-funded research (5)

Early-stage science funded by the US National Institutes of Health. Most of these projects don't enroll patients, but they show what is being worked on.

• Home brain stimulation plus guided touch for phantom limb pain

  This project sees if a portable brain stimulation device combined with guided touch exercises can lower phantom limb pain for people who have lost a limb.

  NIH research Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital · Charlestown, United States · NIH-11321673

• Home-based rehabilitation for phantom limb pain using a mobile app
