Structural and functional motor cortex asymmetry in unilateral lower limb amputation with phantom limb pain
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: The role of motor cortex reorganization in the development and maintenance of phantom limb pain (PLP) is still unclear. This study aims to evaluate neurophysiological and structural motor cortex asymmetry in patients with PLP and its relationship with pain intensity.
METHODS: Cross-sectional analysis of an ongoing randomized-controlled trial. We evaluated the motor cortex asymmetry through two techniques: i) changes in cortical …
