Name of Study
A qualitative study examining the experiences of phantom limb pain in amputees.
Purpose of Study
This study will investigate people’s personal experiences of phantom limb pain which occurs in 50-80% of amputees.
I am interested in your experience of phantom limb pain and if you agree to take part you will be asked to participate in a research interview. This interview will last approximately 30 minutes and can take place over the phone.
I really want to understand what it is like for people who are experiencing this type of pain as so far there are very few research studies which have explored this area and have asked people who have phantom limb pain how it is affecting their lives.
