Study Summary
The goal of this pilot study is to assess the effectiveness of an electrical stimulation therapy option for the treatment of chronic phantom limb pain in upper or lower limb amputees. This therapy has been previously used for sports and joint injuries and is marketed for relaxation of muscle spasms, re-education of muscle action, prevention of disuse atrophy, increased local blood circulation, and maintaining or increasing range of motion. The investigators would like to explore the idea that physically exercising the muscles of the residual limb and increasing blood flow to the site of amputation through the promotion of motor contraction using electrical stimulation decreases chronic phantom limb pain.
Primary Outcome
Pain level data will be taken before and after each session to analyze any short term decreases in pain using a self-reported numeric 10-point pain scale. T- tests will be used for within subject testing looking at pre and post treatment measures to quantify a decrease in pain.
