Virtual arm eases phantom limb pain


This news item talks about doctors who have devised a way to treat amputees with phantom limb pain. Thanks to this invention the patient can move an imaginary arm which he or she can see in the monitor of a computer.
Ture Johanson said that his pain has been reduced a lot thanks to this new invention which consists basically in a new computer program and he now uses this at home regularly.

My opinion about this news is that it’s a fantastic invention which he has done. Ture Johanson explained a little that over decades he has tried numerous therapies, including hypnosis but to no avail… So that’s why I’m happy now, because people who suffer and accidents and lose a limb can improve their style of life.
