| Description: After his right leg was destroyed in an explosion while he was in Iraq, army sergeant Nicholas Paupore experienced excruciating phantom limb pain. Even morphine didn’t help. Then he underwent a simple daily procedure. A mirror was placed at a strategic angle to reflect his intact leg, tricking his brain into registering two healthy legs. The pain almost immediately subsided. A year after therapy, he had only occasional, milder pain, and needed no medication. In some patients, mirror therapy has eliminated phantom pain entirely.
