PHANTOM LIMB PAIN (PLP)

Understanding how your brain visualises your limb following amputation is a key factor in managing phantom limb pain

Following amputation, your brain retains the image of the body from before; it still expects to receive signals from a part of the body which is no longer there.

Phantom Limb Pain (PLP) arises from a disconnect between how the brain remembers the body before amputation, and the physical absence or change of the limb afterward.

This continued misalignment between the brain’s image and physical reality fuels the sensation of pain from the missing limb.

Backed by Evidence

The SensTrain Neuro-PL is the world’s first at home medical device, to treat the root cause of phantom limb pain.

The Neuro-PL has dual modes, a NeuroTraining and Instant Relief mode.

In NeuroTraining Mode, the clinician designed, software-led therapy program is used to provide Sensory Discrimination Training (SDT) therapy.

In this mode the software takes you through a series of challenges where you identify
the location and type of stimulations you are feeling, increasing in difficulty as you improve.

As you improve and over time, new neural pathways are created, your brain re-learns, helping to gradually eliminate the phantom limb pain.

In Instant Relief Mode, a short 15 minute pain-control program applies the same proven therapy used by many TENS devices to relieve pain when it strikes.

  • Convenient at-home therapy

    Place the stimulation pad on the residual limb, identify stimulations on screen as you feel them, it's that simple. SensTrain lets you take control of your phantom limb pain at home, without a clinic visit.

  • Daily improvements

    The Neuro-PL device is a device for life. The results of the 30-day Core Therapy are reinforced and improved with 5 or 10 day top up sessions every 12
    weeks.

  • Combination therapy

    The simple to use, dual mode device, provides both instant relief and long-term outcomes using SDT & TENs. SensTrain is the first of it's kind available, and provides a holistic pain-management solution.

Some options are in place to help with Phantom Limb Pain (PLP).

Many of these therapies focus on masking the pain or temporarily tricking the brain that the amputated limb exists. TMR surgery is not always an option, and the side effects of medication / opioids are a concern for many, especially when used in the long term. Sensory Discrimination Training does something very unique; it targets the root cause of the issue in a drug free, yet effective way.
