Max Ortiz-Catalan
PMID 41495787WHAT IT FOUND
This paper proposes a theoretical treatment for phantom limb pain, but reports no PMT trial results.
It gives hypotheses and testable predictions, not evidence to change practice.
What this paper is
This is a theoretical paper proposing Progressive Motor Training for phantom limb pain. It describes a hypothesis, possible mechanisms, and testable predictions. It reports no PMT trial methods or results, so there is no finding to act on.
The easy way to misread this
Do not read this as evidence that PMT reduces phantom limb pain. The paper reports no PMT trial results, only a proposed mechanism and predictions to test.
