Welcome to the PAMELA project – an initiative to prevent and manage phantom limb pain.


Mission

Mission

Mission

Our mission is the empowerment of amputees in Ukraine. We're dedicated to guiding them on their path to enduring pain relief by deploying a therapeutic self-management app for rehabilitation. Simultaneously, for healthcare professionals, we aim to facilitate knowledge and skills transfer by providing evidence-based recommendations and comprehensive teaching materials on the prevention and management of phantom limb pain.

The app

The app

The self-care app designed to guide patients through an 18-month pain management and empowerment program.

The app ensures personalized training through the selection of diverse modules tailored to individual needs, whether in a hospital, rehabilitation setting, or at home.

The app respects limited resources (e.g., explains how to do therapy at home) and financial possibilities.

The app monitors its use by a core set of patient-reported outcomes.
