Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of neuromodulation for relief of phantom limb pain (PLP) using peripheral nerve (PNS) and spinal cord (SCS) stimulation with implantable electrodes. The researchers expect that PLP in patients with lower limb amputation will be relieved by peripheral nerve and the spinal cord stimulation. The possibility of finding EEG biomarkers for phantom pain will be explored.
