A Pilot Study of Self-delivered Home-based Mirror Therapy for Phantom Limb Pain
The goals of the study are to determine whether self-delivered, home-based mirror therapy
decreases the frequency and intensity of phantom limb pain and improves mood and physical
function in persons with phantom limb pain.
The investigators hypothesize that self-delivered home-based mirror therapy will
significantly decrease phantom pain intensity, will improve mood, and will improve function
at one-month follow-up.
