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.

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 refers to pain in two situations. In the first, a limb has been amputated accidentally or surgically, and the person continues to feel as though some or all the nonexistent limb is still present and hurting. In the second, most frequent when the living limb is largely denervated, the person feels as though the limb is in a different ...

Phantom limb pain can be a devastating consequence of an amputation. It is often a chronic, disabling condition. This chapter reviews the etiology, pathophysiology, prevention, and treatment of phantom limb pain and discusses known risk factors for this condition. Even though many physicians have been frustrated by the inability to control phantom limb
