In the present study, 24 patients suffering pain from a phantom limb were given vibratory stimulation or placebo as a pain-relieving measure. During stimulation, a reduction in pain was reported by 75% of the patients as compared to 44% during placebo. Depending on the phantom sensation, the best pain-reducing site was found to be either the area of pain or the antagonistic muscle. In 90% of the patients the best pain-reducing effect was obtained when stimulation was applied with moderate pressure over a large area. The results of the present study suggest that vibratory stimulation may be a valuable symptomatic treatment measure in patients suffering pain from a phantom limb.
在本研究中，24名遭受幻肢痛的患者接受了振动刺激或安慰剂作为缓解疼痛的措施。在刺激过程中，75%的患者报告疼痛减轻，而安慰剂组为44%。根据幻肢感觉，发现最佳的疼痛减轻部位是疼痛区域或拮抗肌。在90%的患者中，当在大面积上施加适度压力进行刺激时，可获得最佳的疼痛减轻效果。本研究结果表明，振动刺激可能是治疗幻肢痛患者的一种有价值的对症治疗措施。
