As someone with/without two legs, I find this very interesting. My phantom pain doen't last very long, but OUCH! If this works, I hope I can get connected with my X-Box.
Perhaps you should review your research. There is a big difference between phantom limb pain and stump pain. You are commenting about stump pain, and the statement that some people think it is just psychological, shows your lack of expertise in the area. All pain is psychological. All pain is perceived in your head.
As for this study, I've been following it since it began. This is promising, but so far, there is no advantage over just a mirrored box. Anyways, phantom limb pain is very difficult to research, because no patient has an identical amputation. It is impossible to conduct an ideal experiment with Phantom Limb Pain. Any research, into this is important, and I applaud the researchers for attempting this.
