METHOD OF TREATING PHANTOM LIMB SYNDROME Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC A61H39/00 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: what is used is a biological feedback activating the visual system centres, thereby combining the tactile approaches to acupuncture points and psychocorrection. The patient's state using the stump trigger points as acupuncture points is assessed. A biological feedback parameters is presented by using visual sensation colours perceived by the patient with his/her eyes closed and stump trigger points exposed. A session involves an alert entrance and a suggestion implying that the tactile exposure on the stump trigger points shall change the visual sensation colour between the long-wavelength subspectrum to shorter-wavelength subspectrum that is accompanied by phantom-limb pain disappearance. The tactile approach sequentially extends to the other trigger points. After the first session, the patient is introduced into a Lagrange spectrum to determine specific 'pain colour' and ' health colour'.

EFFECT: method enables inuring the patient to enable him/her eliminating the pain sensations independently at the early stage of the onset.
