Application of AR technology in the treatment of Phantom Limb Pain

Abstract

In recent years, with the continuous occurrence of accidents such as car accidents, wars, engineering accidents, natural disasters, tumors and vascular diseases, the number of patients with limb disability due to amputations or accidental injuries is also increasing. phantom limb pain (PLP), one of the main complications after amputation, has attracted increasing attention. Phantom limb pain, also known as phantom limb pain, refers to the subjective feeling that the amputated limb still exists, and is accompanied by varying degrees of pain, and the pain is mostly in the distal end of the amputated limb. Most phantom pain is combined with stump pain or phantom sensation. There are as many as 37 treatments for PLP, considering the high frequency of its occurrence and how much it affects patients. They can be broadly categorized as pharmacotherapy, physical therapy, and psychotherapy. Each of these therapies has its own drawbacks, which AR technology is well equipped to make up for.
