International Anesthesiology Clinics, 2016 Phantom limb is a complex pain phenomenon that is perceived by patients after a limb has been amputated. Many patients have the persistent perception that the particular limb that was lost is still present. This phenomenon, which may be painful and nonpainful, may develop immediately after amputation or in years following the incident.

Phantom limb pain is a phenomenon known for centuries. It affects more than 70% of all amputees, and it is thought to be the consequence of central or peripheral neuron damage. The phenomenon of brain functional reorganization, called representational plasticity, has been shown to be involved in the development and propagation of phantom pain.

Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1981
The role of psychological factors in 10 patients with painful phantom limbs was investigated by means of a questionnaire and interviews. The hypotheses were that the severity of pain would be positively correlated with their present personal problems and attitudes and with experience of pain in the limb before amputation.

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.

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

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 ...

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 ...

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
