Exploring phantom phenomena following brachial plexus block in intact limbs
This study demonstrates that individuals with temporary sensorimotor deafferentation via brachial plexus nerve block experience many phantom phenomena similar to those reported by individuals with limb loss. This suggests that brachial plexus nerve block is a promising model for studying PLP and a potential test bed for its treatment.
