My hus has suffered from PLP for 25 yrs immed after an accident which left his L arm paralyzed with limited innervation (none from the elbow down and partial in bicep only). He's given up on everything...nothing works for him. I rigged a mirror box for him to try. He didn't get immed relief but feels his left hand for the 1st time in 25 years! feels like he's "working it". We will cont to do therapy in hopes that his pain will lessen. I am grateful for your research and insight. Thank you!!!!
Thank you. I will being getting out the cardboard and sticky stuff. I have been diagnosed with CRPS and your non invasive therapy will be an added bonus.
I probably could have used this the 1st few yrs I was figuring out how to keep using my hand but hydrotherapy, PT, kept my rt arm/hand moving too. But with therapy I forced myself through increased the pain soooo much. Icing every 2-4 hrs moist heat, all the while all I could stand laying a down pillow on my chest with rt arm chest high being as still as possible. I could feel my heart beat throbbing in my arm/hand.

You actually tricked MY brain, thinking that the real hand in the box isn't yours.
