虚拟现实 (VR) 系统已集成到幻肢痛 (PLP) 康复技术中。在本病例报告中，我们使用脑电图 (EEG) 来分析两名 PLP 患者在振动触觉刺激与 VR 康复过程中双侧感觉运动皮层之间的皮质一致性。结果，我们在 VR 康复期间观察到，当刺激传递到患侧的脸颊和肩部（涉及感觉区域）时，PLP 得到缓解，α 波一致性增加。 VR 康复中的振动触觉刺激可以增强幻手的意识和运动。
Virtual reality (VR) systems have been integrated into rehabilitation techniques for phantom limb pain (PLP). In this case report, we used electroencephalography (EEG) to analyze corticocortical coherence between the bilateral sensorimotor cortices during vibrotactile stimulation in conjunction with VR rehabilitation in two PLP patients. As a result, we observed PLP alleviation and increased alpha wave coherence during VR rehabilitation when stimulation was delivered to the cheek and shoulder (referred sensation areas) of the affected side. Vibrotactile stimulation with VR rehabilitation may enhance the awareness and movement of the phantom hand.
