Induced sensorimotor brain plasticity controls pain in phantom limb patients

Pain in a phantom limb after limb deafferentation may be due to maladaptive sensorimotor representation. Here the authors find that sensorimotor plasticity induced by BMI training with the phantom hand, contrary to expectation, increased pain while dissociating prosthetic movements from the phantom...
