Clinical Application Observation on the Evaluation of Phantom Limb Pain With the Suralis System
This study tests whether a vibration-based feedback device (Suralis) can reduce phantom limb pain in people with lower-leg amputations over 3 weeks. Participants wear the device daily and report pain levels, walking ability, and quality of life - with no known risks, as it's a CE-certified medical device. If pain improves, the study team will help participants apply for insurance coverage to keep using the system long-term. The goal is to offer a simple, non-drug option that may help ease chronic pain and improve daily function for amputees. Participation is voluntary and can be stopped anytime without affecting medical care.
