This review provides a comprehensive overview and analysis of 30 studies that addressed many of the interventions commonly used in phantom limb pain rehabilitation. Phantom limb pain is a painful sensation perceived in the absence of a limb or in a deafferented limb. Suffering from acute or chronic pain can decrease engagement and performance in meaningful occupations. Overall, we found moderate evidence to support the effectiveness of various therapy interventions for decreasing PLP in individuals with amputations and BPAs.en-USBrachial Plexus AvulsionEvidence-Based PracticePhantom Limb PainAmputationQuality of LifeOccupational TherapyRehabilitation
