MUMBAI, India, Aug. 17 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641095902 A) filed by Vels Institute Of Science, Technology And Advanced Studies Vistas on August 07, 2026, for A System And A Method Of Vibrotactile Therapy For Phantom Limb Pain Relief.
Inventors include S. Kowshika; and N. Kalaichelvi.
The application for the patent was published on August 14, 2026, under issue no. 33/2026.
Abstract: Disclosed is a system (100) for providing wearable vibrotactile therapy for phantom limb pain relief. The system (100) includes a wearable support structure (112), a vibration motor (104), a push button switch (106), a microcontroller (102), a power supply unit (108), and a connecting circuit assembly (110). The wearable support structure (112) is configured to position the vibration motor (104) on a body region associated with phantom limb pain. The push button switch (106) generates a user activation input, and the microcontroller (102) processes the user activation input to execute stored therapy instructions and generate a controlled actuation signal. The vibration motor (104) produces localized vibrotactile stimulation according to predetermined vibration parameters including intensity, duration, frequency, interval, and pattern. The system (100) enables portable, non-invasive, user-controlled, and programmable pain relief therapy with reduced dependency on medication, clinical supervision, and invasive pain management arrangements.
