NCT05650931
Study of Phantom Limb Pain Using Peripheral Nerve and Spinal Cord Stimulation
Conditions: Phantom Limb Pain, Phantom Pain, Amputation
Sex: All
Ages: 18 Years – 65 Years
Phase: NA
Enrollment: 10
Sponsor: Artur Biktimirov
Location: Russian Federation
Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of neuromodulation for relief of phantom limb pain (PLP) using peripheral nerve (PNS) and spinal cord (SCS) stimulation with implantable electrodes.
The researchers expect that PLP in patients with upper limb amputation will be relieved by peripheral nerve and the spinal cord stimulation.
The possibility of finding EEG biomarkers for phantom pain will be explored.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:Patients with implanted neuromodulation devices.Amputation of the upper limb at the level of the forearm.Age ranges from 18 to 65 years old.The duration from the moment of amputation is from 6 months.The presence of persistent chronic pain syndrome is from 4 to 10 points according to the Visual Analogue ScaleAbsence of pregnancy at the time of implantation, confirmed by a pregnancy test.Exclusion Criteria:The presence of severe somatic pathologyThe presence of mental illnessThe presence of a gross orthopedic deformity in the limb above the amputation level.The presence of oncology.The presence of epilepsy.Complications after a traumatic brain injury or stroke.Purulent - septic pathology.Drug addiction.Congenital malformation of the upper limb.Any conditions that, according to the researcher, fall under the exclusion criteria.
