Core Tip Phantom limb pain remains a complex and challenging condition due to its multifactorial neuroplastic origins, with conventional therapies often failing to provide durable relief. Emerging non-pharmacological approaches in recent years include extended reality technologies and neural modulation strategies. The results from randomized controlled trials on peripheral nerve stimulation, repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation, and transcranial direct current stimulation have demonstrated favorable effects on pain relief and functional improvement and opioid usage reduction. Therefore, these nerve stimulation strategies offer promising alternatives for phantom limb pain management.
