Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Comparison of the change in VAS scores before and after training between the real training and sham training | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| (1) Compare the change in the SF-MPQ2 total score before and after training between the real and sham training groups (2) Compare the number of days after each training session when the VAS score is lower than 70% of the average VAS score for the 7 days before training between the real and sham training groups (3) Compare the number of adverse events other than pain changes between the real and sham training groups (4) The percentage of correct decoding when inferring the phantom limb movement from the EEG during phantom limb movement before and after training was compared, and the amount of change was calculated. | — |
