Phantom limb pain (PLP) is a form of chronic neuropathic pain that responds poorly to treatment interventions derived from the neuroanatomic understanding of pain and analgesia. Several new psychological and behavioral treatments that have proven more effective have been explained by invoking neural ...
The phantom limb pain can't be explained satisfatory for any mechanism single, such as irritation of a peripheric nerve, abnormal activity simpathic or psycopathology problems, all some form contribute to appealment and perpetuation of pain. 展开 ...
Motor imagery has been used for the treatment of phantom limb pain (PLP)1, motor rehabilitation2, and the development of brain-computer interfaces for controlling a prosthesis3. Many researches have focused on motor imagery after amputation and the evidence of whether the capability for motor image...
It is now believed that probably originated in the pain transmitting neurons of the dorsal horn. This has led to significant advances in the treatment of this disorder. It is now thought that phantom sensation is best explained as a sensory emgram or a part of the neuomatrix as purposed ...

However, previous results (Walsh, E., et al., 2010) could potentially be explained if participants made a slight anticipatory muscle contraction without pressing the response key (Leuthold et al., 1996), and then “inhibited” by aborting this incipient muscle contraction. Indeed, cessation of ...
The cause of pain in a phantom limb after partial or complete deafferentation is an important problem. A popular but increasingly controversial theory is that it results from maladaptive reorganization of the sensorimotor cortex, suggesting that experime
This study illustrates the difficulties that GPs may have in applying the relevant evidence for the successful management of back pain. A desire to avoid conflict in the relationship with patients explained much of the problem of implementing evidence in general practice. This indicates a need for ...
