Pain relief using a stimulation suit for amputation
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special full-body suit with electrical stimulation can help reduce pain in people who have had an amputation and also have pain in multiple body areas. If you already use a prosthetic limb and have chronic pain, this might be a new way to help you feel better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part

- Your pain in the past week was at least moderate.

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 a new type of nerve stimulation device placed in the leg to see if it can reduce long-term pain after amputation. It's for people who have already had nerve surgery and still have significant pain.
This study tests a full-body suit that delivers gentle electrical pulses to help reduce muscle stiffness, spasms, and pain in people with conditions like multiple sclerosis, fibromyalgia, or other neurological problems. It may help with movement and comfort.
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 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 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.
