An observational study in Phantom Pain, sponsored by Direction Centrale du Service de Santé des Armées. Not yet recruiting. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 65 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2022-09-19.

The amputation of a limb results in chronic pain associated with the lost limb in the majority of patients, which persists over time. Despite a large number of studies conducted in an attempt to elucidate the neural basis of phantom pain, these are still not elucidated and current treatments often fail to relieve patients' pain.
The study population is composed of :
Exclusion Criteria:
Adult patients who have been amputated for more than 2 years and have chronic phantom pain
Other: Questionnaires · Device: Brain and Spinal Cord functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging · Other: Proprioceptive training
Adult patients who have been amputated for more than 2 years and do not have chronic phantom pain
Other: Questionnaires · Device: Brain and Spinal Cord functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Healthy adult participants with no neurological history
Device: Brain and Spinal Cord functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging · Other: Proprioceptive training
Short-Form McGill Pain Questionnaire (SF-MPQ) Pain Disability Index (PDI) Prosthesis Evaluation Questionnaire (PEQ) Psychological Inflexibility to Pain Scale (PIPS) Chronic Pain Acceptance Questionnaire (CPAQ) Cognitive Difficulties Scale (CDS) Amputee Body Image Scale (ABIS) Trinity Amputation and Prosthesis Experience Scales (TAPES) Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS) Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HAD) Credibility/Expectancy Questionnaire (CEQ) Short-Form Edinburgh Handedness Inventory (SF-EHI) Patient's Global Impression of Change (PGIC)
Brain and Spinal Cord functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Proprioceptive muscular training via a mechanical vibration of low amplitude and frequency between 60 and 80 Hz applied to the tendons.
Change in brain activity, measured through fMRI, following proprioceptive training
Brain activity (BOLD hemodynamic response) will be measured via fMRI before and after proprioceptive training sessions.
Time frame: Up to 3 months
Change in spinal cord activity, measured through spinal fMRI, following proprioceptive training
Spinal cord activity (BOLD hemodynamic response) will be measured via spinal fMRI before and after proprioceptive training sessions.
Time frame: Up to 3 months
