Building local capacity in developing countries is core to our commitment. Grassroots outreach teams, rehabilitation centers, prosthetists and medical practitioners
collaborate on identifying amputees who are experiencing phantom limb
pain, then schedule and implement programs designed to relieve these symptoms
through non-medical interventions.
- Visits remote and rural communities to determine the number of amputees experiencing phantom limb pain within each community
- Documents the history of each trauma
- Schedules and provides courses of mirror therapy sessions and education within each community
- Establishes and manages applications workshops, gainfully employing amputees where possible
- Monitors project effectiveness
- Provides explicit evaluations to the operational staff
The Operational Staff - Oversees and evaluates all
projects and outreach teams
- Prioritizes projects and seeks funding
- Ensures compliance with donor and legal requirements
- Distributes ETPP ToolKits, CDs and mp3s upon request to the general public
End The Pain Project also builds grassroots capability through local manufacturing of non-medical interventions.
Based upon recent breakthroughs in brain research, the ETPP ToolKit is a freely offered resource, a pdf compilation of article links, mirror therapy video links, mirror box construction instructions and self-hypnosis scripts for low-cost, non-invasive elimination or reduction of phantom limb pain.
By committing to consistent, active participation for approximately four to five weeks, you will be joining an expanding group of amputees experiencing reduction or elimination of phantom limb pain.
And to ease phantom limb pain until it is released completely or subsides through the course of the Mirror Therapy, we have developed pain-reducing self-hynosis recordings focused specifically on hand/arm amputations or foot/leg amputations. Soothing narrations and music encourage deep relaxation and pain reduction. Order on CD or as mp3 downloads.

End The Pain Project is a non profit 501(c) (3) action-oriented organization, producing authentic, tangible results. Your contribution goes directly to logistical support, training, tools and other needs and is tax-deductible.
Your thoughtful donation will be applied to the purchase and transport of unbreakable mirror boxes and non-glass mirrors along with five continuous weeks of mirror therapy to each identified land mine amputee suffering phantom limb pain. $15 sends one unbreakable mirror, including shipping to a person in need.
Any donation, no matter how small, helps our small staff to carry out needed non-invasive intervention to reduce or eliminate debilitating phantom limb pain. Our first project this year is focused on Vietnam. As ETPP grows, this effective, low-cost mirror therapy program will be extended to Haiti, Cambodia, Afghanistan, Bosnia, Laos and other countries affected by landmines and war.
Join the growing numbers who support the End The Pain Project. Thank you for your generosity.
