Titan trial: Reducing phantom limb pain
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests a new type of artificial limb (neuroprosthesis) that sends signals back to your brain to help reduce phantom limb pain and improve your daily life. You may be able to join if you have had an arm or leg amputation at least 6 months ago and have persistent pain.
This trial tests whether remote brain stimulation (tDCS) combined with sensory (hand/limb) training can reduce phantom limb pain. It also uses computer prediction (“machine learning”) to estimate who is most likely to benefit.
This study tests whether using virtual reality at home for 30 minutes a day can reduce phantom limb pain after a leg amputation. It aims to improve how your brain handles pain signals.
This study tests a home-based rehab program for Veterans with phantom limb pain after a below-knee amputation. It uses telehealth to help you manage pain without needing to travel to a clinic.
This study tests whether magnetic stimulation can improve sensation in people who have lost an upper limb. It may help restore feeling in the residual limb.
