Background:

Phantom limb pain (PLP) is a prevalent and challenging condition.
Existing treatments are often ineffective due to patient heterogeneity and biopsychosocial factors.
PLP significantly diminishes patients' quality of life and psychological well-being.

Observation:

A case study explored a novel neuromodulation approach for PLP treatment.
The strategy involved the peripheral placement of neuromodulation leads.
This method was applied to a single patient experiencing persistent PLP.

Findings:

The patient reported complete and consistent relief from phantom limb pain.
Pain reduction was observed irrespective of fluctuations in psychosocial stress levels.
This suggests a potential for targeted peripheral neuromodulation in PLP management.

Implications:

This case study presents a promising new avenue for treating phantom limb pain.
Peripheral neuromodulation may offer a viable alternative for patients unresponsive to conventional therapies.
Further research is warranted to validate this approach in a broader amputee population.
