Clinical Trial: Operant Conditioning of Sensory Brain Responses to Reduce Phantom Limb Pain in People With Limb Amputation
Study Status: Completed
Recruit Status: RECRUITING
Condition: Phantom Limb Pain After Amputation
Study Type: INTERVENTIONAL
Official Title: Operant Conditioning of Sensory Evoked Potentials to Reduce Phantom Limb Pain
Brief Summary:
The study will investigate the application of a non-pharmacological operant conditioning approach to reduce phantom limb pain (PLP).PLP afflicts 60-90% people who have lost a limb.It can last for years and lead to drug dependence, job loss, and poor quality of life.Current non-pharmacological interventions are encouraging but limited, and their efficacy remains unclear.Limb amputation is known to lead to abnormal sensorimotor reorganization in the brain.Multiple studies have shown that PLP severity is correlated…
