Mirror therapy is a non-invasive and inexpensive therapeutic procedure indicated for the treatment of post-amputation phantom limb pain. This technique has proven its effectiveness and consists of bringing into play brain plasticity in order to reshape the central body architecture after amputation. This is a quantitative and descriptive study, which aims to objectify the use of mirror therapy on phantom pain in amputees, by combining the results in order to evaluate its effects, its application and its limits in the management of post-amputation.
