Resum
Objective
The aim of this study is to analyse the effectiveness of the Graded Motor Imagery (GraMI)
protocol in phantom limb pain in amputee patients.
Materials and methods
A randomised clinical trial will be conducted, with two parallel groups and simple blinding,
and a phenomenological study with semi-structured interviews. People over the age of 18,
with amputation of one limb, with a minimum score of 3 on the visual analogue scale of pain,
who are pharmacologically stable and have been discharged from hospital, will be recruited.
An initial assessment, a post-intervention assessment (9 weeks) and a follow-up assess ment (12 weeks post-intervention) will be performed, in which pain, quality of life, functional ity and psychological aspects will be assessed. The aim of the qualitative study is to find out
about the experience of living with phantom limb pain and to identify the satisfaction with the
intervention. A descriptive, univariate and bivariate quantitative statistical analysis will be
performed using the SPSS program, with a 95% confidence level and a statistical signifi cance level of p < 0.05. The qualitative analysis will be carried out using the Atlas.ti 8.0 pro gram, where the different interviews will be analysed, coded and categorised.
Discussion
The GraMI protocol allows the patient to work on motor learning through brain reorganisa tion, analytical movements, sensory stimulation, and functional activities. In addition, it can
help to standardise the use of graded motor imagery in future studies and in clinical practice
with this patient profile.
