Evaluation of Neuroprosthesis with Sensory Feedback for Modulation of Phantom Limb Pain and Enhancing Quality of Life
This clinical trial is designed to assess the effectiveness of advanced neuromodulation techniques in reducing phantom limb pain by improving sensory feedback in bionic prostheses. The study will explore the use of Peripheral Nerve Stimulation to evaluate their impact on pain relief and sensory restoration. The trial aims the development of neuroprostheses that can provide sensory feedback through stimulation.
• Amputation of the upper limb at the level of the forearm or upper arm, or amputation of the lower limb at the level of the lower leg or thigh.
• Age between 18 and 65 years.
• Duration since amputation is at least 6 months.
• Presence of persistent chronic pain syndrome rated between 4 and 10 on the Visual Analog Scale (VAS).
• Absence of pregnancy at the time of implantation, confirmed by a pregnancy test (for female participants only).
• Signed consent to participate in the study.
