Resumen
Phantom limb pain can be defined as discomfort or pain in a missing part
of the limb. The aims of this study were to develop and validate, through a Delphi methodology, a
graded motor imagery protocol in order to reduce phantom limb pain. Method: Physiotherapists
and/or occupational therapists with experience in research and a minimum clinical experience
of five years in the field of neurorehabilitation and/or pain were recruited by part of a group of
experts to assess the intervention. The study was conducted through an online questionnaire, where
experts assessed each aspect of the intervention through a Likert scale. As many rounds as necessary
were carried out until consensus was reached among experts. Results: A total of two rounds were
required to fully validate the intervention. During the second round, the relative interquartile range
of all aspects to be assessed was less than 15%, thus showing a consensus among experts and with
good concordance (Kappa index of 0.76). Conclusion: Experts validated a graded motor imagery
intervention of phantom limb pain in patients with amputations (GraMi protocol). This intervention
can help to homogenize the use of graded motor imagery in future studies and in clinical practice.
