Magnetic stimulation for feeling in upper limb amputation
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
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.

This trial tests a new approach to suppress phantom limb pain using neuromodulation methods. It may help people who have had a limb amputated and continue to experience persistent pain.
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 new, noninvasive brain stimulation techniques to help recovery after stroke weakness or after arm amputation with phantom limb pain. If you fit the type and timing of your condition, the study may help improve pain or hand/arm function without surgery.
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.
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 trial tests a new way to control a robotic hand using sensors on your skin and to give you feeling back through mild electrical pulses. It may help people with upper limb amputations have a more natural sense of touch and control.
