The Department of Pain Management at Oslo University Hospital is looking for participants in a study with the aim of investigating the mechanisms underlying post-amputation pain with the use of spinal anesthesia.

(rTMS) of the brain can reduce these post-amputation pains. rTMS stimulation is administered from the outside of the head.

Who can participate?

• Age: 18 – 80 years
• People with buttock pain and / or phantom
pain after amputation of one or both legs
Persistent pain for at least 3 months
Normal pain intensity ≥ 4/10 last 24 hours
• Stable medical treatment for pain
