Abstract

Purpose of Review: This article focuses on a review of the non-surgical treatment options for patients with phantom limb pain (PLP). Recent Findings: Based on a review of the published literature over the past 5 years, the most promising evidenced-based therapies involve sensory feedback to the user through either visual or tactile stimulation. Summary: Of these, the most effective therapies include mirror therapy, phantom motor imagery, and phantom motor execution and, therefore, should be considered when treating individuals with PLP.
