For SensTrain to be the gold standard treatment for Phantom Limb Pain. Working in harmony with healthcare professionals, SensTrain will be the world’s first interactive medical device that will provide a fully-automated, self-administered Sensory Discrimination Training treatment for patients to use at home.
Phantom Limb Pain is the result of the difference between the brain’s perceived image of the body and the actual physical state of a damaged or missing body part.
SensTrain uses electrical stimulations (SDT) that help bring the brain’s perceptions of the body into line with its physical state. This change is associated with a reduction in pain levels and improvement in sensory performance.
SDT involves recognising and confirming the location and type of stimulus on the affected limb. Daily SDT therapy can help with cortical reorganisation, re-establishing the brain's blueprint of the body in it's current form.
The challenge has been to provide a therapy, that currently requires a healthcare professional to administer in a self managed, software-led medical device that can be used in the comfort of a patients’ home.
SensTrain will be the world’s first self-applied, interactive medical device that will deliver a fully automated, self-managed SDT therapy to reduce PLP.
Until now, SDT required a health care professional to oversee the time-consuming daily therapy that can take up to 90 minutes a day. This has restricted its mainstream adoption.
SensTrain automates this treatment, using a software-led, self-managed therapy.

We aim to transform Sensory Discrimination Training and the lives of thousands of Phantom Limb Pain sufferers with SensTrain. The groundbreaking device will bring the following key advantages:
It will enable SDT to be effectively self-managed without the need for the daily supervision of a healthcare professional.
Easily accessible treatment without extremely long waiting times and in the comfort of a patient’s own home.
A self-management option to engage and empower patients, providing improved social outcomes for patients. their family and carers alike.
Better quality of life by potentially avoiding drug-related side effects, such as nausea and drowsiness.
As a Doctor, or other Healthcare professional, you are often at the frontline in terms of providing support and information to amputees, their families and carers.
Or, you may be an amputee, or caring for an amputee, and interested in the progress we are making with the SensTrain device.
At 2PD we are committed to supporting both patient and Healthcare professionals and we would like to support and inform you regarding current and future clinical trials, patient insight programmes, news and research with respect to Sensory Discrimination Training and Phantom Limb Pain.
