Home-based Self-delivered Mirror Therapy for Phantom Limb Pain

Completed · Early Phase 1

Conditions studied: Phantom Limb Pain

In brief

The goals of the study are to determine whether self-delivered, home-based mirror therapy decreases the frequency and intensity of phantom limb pain and improves mood and physical function in persons with phantom limb pain. The investigators hypothesize that self-delivered home-based mirror therapy will significantly decrease phantom pain intensity, will improve mood, and will improve function at one-month follow-up.
