   Sammanfattning : Phantom Limb Pain (PLP) is commonly suffered by people with amputations and even though it has been studied for centuries, it remains a mysterious object of debate among researchers. For one thing, despite the vast number of proposed PLP treatments, no therapy has so far proved to be reliably effective. LÄS MER

5. 4. On the use of Phantom Motor Execution for the treatment of Phantom Limb Pain
