Summary

The goals of the study are to determine whether self-delivered, home-based mirror therapy decreases the frequency and intensity of phantom limb pain and improves mood and physical function in persons with phantom limb pain.

The investigators hypothesize that self-delivered home-based mirror therapy will significantly decrease phantom pain intensity, will improve mood, and will improve function at one-month follow-up.

BEHAVIORAL

Mirror Therapy

The study is an uncontrolled pilot. Subjects receive instruction in performing mirror therapy at home, either in person or by viewing a DVD. Subjects will be asked to practice mirror therapy 20 minutes daily. Subjects will complete questionnaires for phantom pain, function, depressive symptoms, anxiety, catastrophizing, and sleep quality at baseline and post treatment at 1 month, 2 months, 3 months, and 6 months. Subjects will keep a diary of their practice and study staff will check in with subjects weekly for the first month, and monthly thereafter.
