Phantom limb pain (PLP) is a chronic neuropathic pain occurring in 45-85% of patients who undergo major amputations of the upper and lower extremities. Chronic pain is physically and mentally debilitating, affecting an individual's potential for self-care and the performance of daily living activities essential for personal and economic independence ...

Calcitonin in Phantom Limb Pain
Annals of Pharmacotherapy, 1999PLP is a challenging disorder that is often difficult to treat. Like all other types of pain, PLP is a tremendous source of morbidity and should be treated aggressively. Though evidence is very limited, one or two doses of intravenous salmon calcitonin 200 IU may be an effective treatment. The minor adverse effects reported in the literature would seem

Management of Phantom Limb Pain
2009This chapter provides a comprehensive overview of the management of chronic phantom limb pain (PLP) as it relates to the patient in the prosthesis clinic. The chapter begins with phantom pain assessment. Pharmacological therapies commonly used in the treatment of PLP will be discussed, with a review of the literature relating to success or otherwise of

Fluoxetine in Phantom Limb Pain
British Journal of Psychiatry, 1993Complete recovery of phantom limb pain of five years' duration occurred in a 71-year-old man following treatment with fluoxetine. There was no coexisting affective disorder. Further research is indicated in view of the postulated role of lowered central 5-hydroxy-tryptamine activity in the genesis and maintenance of chronic pain.British Journal of ...

Phantom limb pain is a complex condition that induces changes within the central nervous system with peripheral and psychological influences acting to mediate symptoms. Reversal of these central changes is a key consideration to effective treatment.

Neurologic Clinics, 1989
Recent literature suggests that phantom pain and stump pain have closely related physiologic mechanisms and that treatments frequently overlap. Decreased blood flow in the residual limb is related to burning and tingling phantom and stump pain, whereas spasms in major muscles of the residual limb precede cramping phantom and stump pain. There is little

The term “phantom limb” is used to designate the illusion of the persistent presence of a limb after it has been amputated. It is a remarkable fact that the great majority of patients who have had a limb removed will retain, long after the stump has healed, perhaps for the remainder of their lives, a vivid sense of the presence of the absent member ...

Phantom limb pain, which affects a majority of amputees, must be distinguished from phantom limb sensation, a universal consequence of limb amputation. Although the characteristics and time course of phantom limb pain are well described in the literature, no single theoretical approach can fully account for the contradictory aspects of this condition,

Phantom limb pain is a chronic neuropathic pain that develops in 45-85% of patients who undergo major amputations of the upper and lower extremities and appears predominantly during two time frames following an amputation: the first month and later about 1 year.
