ABSTRACT:
A method of reducing pain resulting from exposed or damaged nerve ends, such as the pain in amputees commonly referred to as phantom limb pain is disclosed. The method may also reduce pain resulting from arthritis. This method involves covering the affected area with a radiation-shielding textile, whether by fashioning a garment from the textile or using a sheet or cover. The radiation-shielding textile found to be suitable is a cloth woven of yarn consisting of a textile fibre, such as nylon, and from two to thirty-five percent by weight of conductive metal filament.
