The effect of rehabilitation therapies on quality of life and function in individuals with phantom limb pain after lower-limb amputation: A systematic review.

The overall effect of rehabilitation interventions on QOL and function is inconclusive because of the variable results across the included randomized controlled trials. More research is needed to explore the impact of interventions beyond the outcome of pain and to establish a clearer conclusion. Including measures of QOL and function as well as pain in studies with people with PLP is encouraged.
