[AMP-L] Can ELIX 2.0 Tame Phantom Limb Pain With Good Vibrations?

[Wayne Renardson]

via Amplitude:

We didn´t know what a massage gun was until our college-age son 
placed one atop his holiday wish list last year. He´d been introduced to 
the device by his roommate and weightlifting buddy, who applies it to 
neck, back, and shoulders to pulse away the soreness after every 
workout.   

The same basic principle underlies TheraV´s wearable ELIX 2.0, a new 
device that uses vibration therapy to blunt the pain of phantom and 
residual limbs. Developed over the last four years by Delaware 
entrepreneur Amira Radovic, the ELIX wraps around the residual limb 
and purports to thwart PLP by jostling healthy nerve pathways to life, 
thereby "shutting the gate" on false pain signals. Half a dozen 
Paralympic gold medalists on the US sled-hockey team swear by the  
experimental device, and dozens of amputee veterans have endorsed it.
