Psychological and physical therapy follow-up after leg amputation
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests whether adding both psychological support and physical therapy check-ins before and after leg amputation improves recovery and rehab planning. It may help patients feel better and regain function during the transition to rehabilitation care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be an adult (age of majority).
- Your amputation must be in the lower leg or thigh, caused by poor blood flow in the leg (obliterative arteriopathy).
- Your amputation must be through the lower leg (trans-tibial) or the thigh (trans-femoral).

- You must be able to understand the study and agree to participate with spoken consent.

This study tests a program to help people who have lost a leg due to diabetes or blood vessel disease become more active. It uses coaching and online modules to support your progress.
This study looks at how people with a leg amputation change the way they walk to make up for lost function. It may help improve rehabilitation and prosthetic care.
This study tests whether a new prosthetic foot can help people with a lower-limb amputation walk better. You will use your current foot and the new foot, and we will measure how well you walk.
This trial tests a new approach for rehabilitation after an upper-limb amputation to help improve your ability to intentionally control a prosthetic and regain a sense of position (“proprioception”). You may be considered if you are planning an elective upper-arm or below-elbow amputation and can safely have surgery and follow up closely.
This study tests a technology-based program to help people manage rehabilitation after a lower-limb amputation. It may help by giving structured support for day-to-day care and prosthesis use.
This trial tests a new method to reduce phantom limb pain (pain felt in a missing limb) using gentle electrical stimulation and simple mental exercises. It is for people with one-sided amputations who have had phantom limb pain for at least three months and still have pain episodes now.
