Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of innovative intervention of breathing controlled electrical stimulation (BreEStim) and conventional electrical stimulation (EStim) in management of neuropathic phantom limb pain in patients after limb amputation.

Primary Outcome

VAS Scores are recorded from 0 to 10 with 0 being "no pain" and 10 being "worst pain", a higher score indicating a higher level of pain. Change is reported as \[(VAS score at baseline) - (VAS Score 10 minutes after intervention)\] - a positive value indicates that the score (and pain level) decreased
