In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the effectiveness of two rehabilitation programs for individuals who have undergone amputations and are experiencing phantom limb pain. The main question it aims to answer is: \- In individuals who have undergone amputations and are experiencing phantom limb pain, what is the effectiveness of a progressive rehabilitation program compared to a treatment program consisting of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation and cranial electrical stimulation on reducing pain intensity and pain interference? A total of 208 participants will be randomized into two groups: progressive rehabilitation program and stimulation devices. The progressive rehabilitation program includes pain science education, sensory training, and left/right judgements, imagined movements and mirror therapy. The treatment program for the group receiving the stimulation
