Nerve stimulation for pain after amputation
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests a nerve stimulation suit to help manage pain in people with amputations who also have pain in multiple body areas. It may help reduce pain and improve daily function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You can speak and read English
- You have pain in 2 or more body areas for at least 3 months
- Your pain in the past week has been at least moderate
- You currently use a prosthetic limb to walk
- You do not have an amputation on the opposite leg above the toe

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests if a gentle electrical stimulation method called TENS can help people who have lost a leg below or above the knee feel more natural sensations in their missing limb and reduce phantom limb pain.
This study tests two surgical techniques—target muscle re-innervation and regenerative peripheral nerve interfaces—alone or together, to help reduce pain felt in the remaining limb or the missing limb (phantom pain) after amputation for cancer. The goal is to find the best way to manage pain and improve quality of life.
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 trial tests an implanted nerve stimulation device (called Altius) to help reduce severe phantom limb or residual limb pain in people who've had lower-leg amputation and prior nerve surgery. The device sends mild electrical signals to help manage pain that hasn't responded well to standard treatments.
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 study tests if adding a nerve stimulation device to a standard nerve block provides better pain relief after below-knee amputation. You may be eligible if you are having this surgery and do not have certain other medical conditions.
