Mirror therapy is one of the forms of treatment used in imagination therapies and is currently used mainly after a stroke, in pain syndromes (phantom pain) after amputations and in complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS). There are also the following areas of application:
• Multiple sclerosis and Parkinsons disease (prerequisite here is the presence of an intact extremity)
• Traumatic brain injury and brain tumors
• Peripheral nerve injuries
• Post-operative and/or post-traumatic pain and hypersensitivity (e.g. after a distal radius fracture)
Mirror therapy addresses specific areas in the brain that have a positive influence on the perception of pain. The optical illusion creates the impression in the brain that the affected body part can be moved and controlled. As a result, pain-free movement of the affected side is suggested to the brain. Through repeated use, the brain learns to reassign pain and discomfort in the affected body part.
