Phantom Limb Pain Clinical Trial
Official title:
Virtual Mirror Therapy for Relief of Chronic Phantom Limb Pain
The purpose of this project is to further investigate the use of Virtual Mirror therapy for alleviating symptoms of chronic phantom limb pain. This initial pilot study will inform a fully powered randomized control trial which will include both upper and lower extremity amputees
Ten unilateral upper extremity amputees suffering from chronic phantom limb pain > 1 yr will be recruited from a hospital based outpatient Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Amputee Clinic. There will be no control group and all 10 subjects will be offered the use of a Virtual Reality headset therapy game (developed in Unreal Engine using Oculus Quest 2 SDK). Fiducial markers will be placed on the residual limb for tracking via front facing cameras on the Oculus Quest 2 and the sound limb movements will be duplicated (flipped for chirality) and mapped onto the residual limb to provide the appearance of their residual limb. The software will direct the subjects through a series of guided movements, stretches, and visualization exercises which last a total of 15 minutes. Afterwards the subjects will be given 5 minutes of unstructured time in the program to perform any of exercises or movements they desire in order to attempt to relieve their phantom limb pain. Subjects will aim for 1 session per week for a total of 6 weeks. Subjects will rate their phantom limb pain symptoms on the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) prior to and after each session. Prior to the first session as well as at 6 weeks and 12 weeks subjects will rate their phantom limb pain symptoms on the Pain Disability ;
