Feasibility of Using an App for Managing Phantom Limb Pain Associated with Combat Injury in Ukraine (PAMELA)
This study is testing whether a smartphone app can help Ukrainian war amputees manage phantom limb pain without medication. Researchers will run the app in five rehabilitation centers for eight weeks, then refine it based on what they learn. The phase is unspecified, which typically means early feasibility work — the goal right now is simply to find out whether the app can be used reliably in this setting, not yet whether it definitively works.
