このコンテンツについて

This episode provides a comprehensive overview of phantom limb pain, defining it as a real, neurological phenomenon where the brain’s sensory map continues to register feeling in a missing limb. It explains that this pain is not psychological, but rather caused by factors such as misfiring nerves, poor brain rewiring, and spinal cord sensitization, affecting up to eighty percent of amputees. It details several modern therapeutic approaches, including the use of mirror therapy, graded motor imagery, and virtual reality to retrain the brain to update its map. It emphasizes the importance of holistic treatment that combines physical, psychological, and medicinal methods to help patients find relief and cope with the emotional distress associated with this persistent condition.
