Phantom Movements in Augmented Reality Helps Patients with Chronic Intractable Phantom Limb Pain (VIDEO)
Caption
Dr. Max Ortiz Catalan at Chalmers University of Technology has developed a novel method of treating phantom limb pain using machine learning and augmented reality. This approach has been tested on over a dozen of amputees with chronic phantom limb pain who found no relief by other clinically available methods before. The new treatment reduced their pain by approximately 50 per cent, reports a clinical study published in The Lancet.
