Interventions

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mirror Retrainingbehavioral

Cognitive Behavioral Pain Management treatment administered in 8 weeks of individual treatment, combined with training in use of a mirror device to reduce phantom limb pain.

Supportive therapybehavioral

Non-directive, emotion focused psychotherapy to facilitate coping with pain, delivered in weekly individual sessions.

By attending to the reflected limb while moving the existing limb, the patient provides visual feedback that helps correct changes in the neural organization of the somatosensory cortex resulting from the amputation and contributing to the phantom limb pain
