New treatment option for Phantom Limb Pain
Official title Peripheral Magnetic Stimulation (PMS) Effects on Somatosensory Perception in Patients with Upper Limb Amputation
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06813937
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- The study investigates the capabilities of peripheral magnetic stimulation (PMS) as a tool for creating somatosensory sensations of various submodalities and analyzing the dynamics of bioelectric signals of the brain (using encephalography (EEG)) in healthy participants and participants with upper limb amputations. During the experiment, the participants' subjective sensations and EEG activity are recorded in response to magnetic pulses of varying intensity.
