          Phantom-Limb Pain Reduced Through Brain Power

          Three days of training with brain-computer interface technology reduced phantom limb pain. Patients reported a 30% reduction in pain after one session, and the effect lasted up to five days after training was complete.

          Talk to the hand: Human brain can rewire itself after traumatic bodily injury

          When the brain is deprived of input from a limb following amputation, it reorganizes its neural map and reroutes the function to the remaining limb.

          Hit it where it hurts: Scientists reveal how mirrors cure phantom pain

          Visual responsiveness in the somatosensory cortex diminishes significantly following mirror therapy for phantom limb pain. Before therapy, researchers discovered a strong, unexpected activation in the sensorimotor foot region of amputees to visually presented images of the foot. This response was no longer present following mirror therapy.
