Resumen
MORALES-OSORIO, M. A.. Graded motor imagery in the phantom limb syndrome with pain. Rev. Soc. Esp. Dolor [online]. 2012, vol.19, n.4, pp.209-216. ISSN 1134-8046.
New investigations on cortical changes in patients with chronic pain have led to a reassessment of the pathologies that occur with chronic pain and its treatment. This is the case of Phantom limb syndrome with pain (PLP), which focused on peripheral nociceptive stimulus, and are now rethinking as a dysfunction at central level. One of the tools often highly evidence and therapists is unknown to the Graded motor imagery (IMG). This technique attempts to normalize the central processing sequence to remedy chronic pain, supported in the neurosciences and the two gifts, such as mirror neurons and the neuromatrix. This article briefly summarizes the basic components of IMG, your application and its benefits, which is the working basis of our research, designed for patients with SMFD belonging to a clinical center in Cartagena de Indias in Colombia.
