Intracortical Inhibition in the Affected Hemisphere in Limb Amputation

Intracortical Inhibition in the Affected Hemisphere in Limb Amputation

Phantom limb pain (PLP) affects up to 80% of amputees. Despite the lack of consensus about the etiology and pathophysiology of phantom experiences, previous evidence pointed out the role of changes in motor cortex excitability as an important factor associated with amputation and PLP. In this system...
