[ICPLP @ICPLP2021]

The lectures from the First International Conference of Phantom Limb Pain @ICPLP2021 are now online at https://t.co/4ZxmgDISin

Thank you to all the invited speakers for the interesting lectures and engaging panel discussions...

[ICPLP @ICPLP2021]

At #ICPLP2021 Prof Jack Tsao, @uthsc, shared his experience of using mirror therapy as a treatment for phantom limb pain (PLP), and emphasized the importance of executing movements with both the intact limb and the phantom. You can watch the full talk at https://t.co/W28GhC3VTj

[ICPLP @ICPLP2021]

At #ICPLP2021 Prof Steven Prescott, @UofT, gave a theoretical explanation of the analgesic mechanisms of spinal cord stimulation (SCS), a therapy that can be used to treat phantom limb pain and other complex pain conditions. Watch the full talk at https://t.co/AUWDbbX1Ya

[ICPLP @ICPLP2021]

Studies have shown that there is a correlation between PLP and cortical reorganisation. At #ICPLP2021 Prof Tamar Makin, @ucl, explained that there also is a preserved representation of the phantom in somatosensory regions of cortex. Watch the full talk at https://t.co/0gbXyPuQvy

[ICPLP @ICPLP2021]

There are several therapies for PLP that involve phantom imagery and phantom execution. Dr Estelle Raffin, @EPFL_en, has looked closer at the difference between the two, and shared some key insights from her studies at #ICPLP2021. Watch the full talk at https://t.co/LyhvW0LLFn

[ICPLP @ICPLP2021]

At #ICPLP2021 Prof. Paul Cederna, @UMich, gave a description of the RPNI and its advantages in preventing the formation of neuromas, which can be the cause of both stump pain and phantom limb pain after amputation. You can watch the full talk at https://t.co/xLIAUp23Tr

[ICPLP @ICPLP2021]

At #ICPLP2021 Prof. Jaimie Shores & Prof. Sami Tuffaha from @HopkinsMedicine told us about contemporary surgical approaches for the prevention (and treatment) of neuromas, which can be a cause of pain after amputation. You can watch their full talk at https://t.co/TAtJscgqxr

[ICPLP @ICPLP2021]

At #ICPLP2021, Prof. Nadia Bolognini, @unimib, presented recent results of non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) for phantom limb pain relief. She shared insights of the possible underlying mechanisms of NIBS induced pain reduction. Watch the full talk at https://t.co/0PONpszy8l

[ICPLP @ICPLP2021]

At @ICPLP2021 Dr Robin Bekrater-Bodmann, @UniHeidelberg, shared some insights on the relationship between phantom limb representation, prothesis embodiment, and phantom limb pain. You can watch the full talk at https://t.co/J01NmX6U4H

[ICPLP @ICPLP2021]

At @ICPLP2021 Prof. Todd Kuiken, Shirley Ryan @AbilityLab and @NorthwesternU, talked about Targeted Muscle Reinnervation (TMR) and how this surgical technique can be used to reduce both neuroma pain and phantom limb pain. You can watch the full talk at https://t.co/ReOFYHN2uM

[ICPLP @ICPLP2021]

Imaging studies of PLP have shown correlations to both reorganization and preservation of the representation of the phantom. At #ICPLP2021 Prof. Herta Flor, @HeidelbergU, made sense of some of the seemingly contradictory results. Watch the full talk at https://t.co/gQRwn0Fkkj

[ICPLP @ICPLP2021]

Prof. Emeritus Fernando Cervero, @mcgillu, kicked off #ICPLP2021 by giving us an overview of PLP and shared this demonstration of input-output dissociation, allowing us all to experience how complex and elusive sensory perception truly is! Full talk is at https://t.co/hXnNLm0Dk4

At the closing ceremony of #ICPLP2021 the winner of the art contest "Illustrate Phantom Limb Pain" was announced.

The winner is Ida Lindbäck with her art piece "Let Go"!

The runner up in the contest was Marzena Sitnicka with the illustration titled "Phantom Limb Pain"
