Surface electrical stimulation to evoke referred sensation.
Surface electrical stimulation (SES) is being investigated as a noninvasive method to evoke natural sensations distal to electrode location. This may improve treatment for phantom limb pain as well as provide an alternative method to deliver sensory feedback. The median and/or ulnar nerves of 35 subjects were stimulated at the elbow using surface electrodes. Strength-duration curves of hand sen...
متن کاملCombined mirror visual and auditory feedback therapy for upper limb phantom pain: a case report
INTRODUCTION Phantom limb sensation and phantom limb pain is a very common issue after amputations. In recent years there has been accumulating data implicating 'mirror visual feedback' or 'mirror therapy' as helpful in the treatment of phantom limb sensation and phantom limb pain. CASE PRESENTATION We present the case of a 24-year-old Caucasian man, a left upper limb amputee, treated with mi...
متن کاملBrain responses to acupuncture stimulation in the prosthetic hand of an amputee patient.
This report describes the brain responses to acupuncture in an upper limb amputee patient. A 62-year-old male had previously undergone a lower left arm amputation following an electrical accident. Using functional MRI, we investigated brain responses to acupuncture stimulation in the aforementioned amputee under three conditions: (a) intact hand, (b) prosthetic hand (used by the patient), and (...
متن کاملSensory feedback for body awareness in prosthetic applications
Every time we perform an action, our brain receives a large amount of sensory information about both the environment and our own bodies. All this information is used to continuously update our model of the world and act accordingly. Sensory-motor coordination—literally the coordination of our sensory and motor systems—allows us to create a mental representation of our own bodies. When this coor...
متن کاملChronic phantom limb pain: the effects of calcitonin, ketamine, and their combination on pain and sensory thresholds.
BACKGROUND Calcitonin was effective in a study of acute phantom limb pain, but it was not studied in the chronic phase. The overall literature on N-methyl-D-aspartate antagonists is equivocal. We tested the hypothesis that calcitonin, ketamine, and their combination are effective in treating chronic phantom limb pain. Our secondary aim was to improve our understanding of the mechanisms of actio...
