Amputation poses significant physical, psychological, and emotional challenges, with chronic pain being one of the most debilitating outcomes. Pain Pressure Threshold (PPT), a measure of nociceptive sensitivity, is a valuable tool for assessing changes in pain perception. Understanding PPT modulation in amputees is crucial for uncovering the mechanisms underlying pain and developing targeted interventions for pain management.
