ETHIOPIA

Amputation and Phantom Pain Treatment Clinical Trial

Amputation, whether due to accidents, vascular pathologies like diabetes, ulcers, or trauma, is a prevalent issue globally. In the US, there are over 200,000 cases, while Europe sees approximately 250,000 cases. Ethiopia faces a unique challenge with traumatic amputations resulting from war and landmines, contributing significantly to the country’s disability rate. The ongoing conflict has left a generation with disabilities, exacerbating poverty in one of the world’s poorest nations.

Phantom pain, a common and debilitating condition among amputees, remains inadequately addressed by current neurorehabilitative and vascular medicine practices. NeuroMuscular Taping (NMT) introduces a promising approach through its decompressive action on peripheral innervation, showing notable clinical results in phantom pain management. This research study aims to demonstrate the efficacy of NMT rehabilitation in reducing phantom pain and improving social and employment outcomes, thereby enhancing overall quality of life and work capability.
