Electrical stimulation of referred sensation area alleviates phantom limb pain
Restorative Neurology and Neuroscience, 2021Background: Patients with brachial plexus avulsion (BPA) usually experience phantom sensations and phantom limb pain (PLP) in the deafferented limb. It has been suggested that evoking the sensation of touch in the deafferented limb by stimulating referred sensation areas (RSAs) on the cheek or shoulder might alleviate PLP.

Differentiation and Treatment of Phantom Sensation, Phantom Pain, and Residual-Limb Pain
Journal of the American Podiatric Medical Association, 2001This article defines the three major forms of postamputation sensation: 1) phantom sensation, 2) phantom pain, and 3) residual-limb pain. Proposed etiologies for phantom pain are discussed. The literature on current diagnoses and treatments for each of the three postamputation sensations is reviewed.

Motor and parietal cortex stimulation for phantom limb pain and sensations
Pain, 2013Limb amputation may lead to chronic painful sensations referred to the absent limb, ie phantom limb pain (PLP), which is likely subtended by maladaptive plasticity. The present study investigated whether transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), a noninvasive technique of brain stimulation that can modulate neuroplasticity, can reduce PLP.

Surgical Treatment of Chronic Phantom Limb Sensation and Limb Pain after Lower Limb Amputation
Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 2006Therapy for phantom sensation and phantom limb pain following amputation is still difficult, because pathophysiologic mechanisms have not been clarified. This report illustrates a simple and useful surgical intervention. The authors propose that changes at the peripheral nerve site can influence the central feeling of phantom sensation and pain.Fifteen

An unusual case of painful phantom-limb sensations during regional anesthesia
Regional Anesthesia and Pain Medicine, 2004The objective of this article is to describe a late-onset phantom-limb pain during a continuous analgesic popliteal nerve block after foot surgery and its alleviation and recurrence when stopping and resuming the local anesthetic infusion.A 29-year-old woman undergoing a left hallux valgus repair received a continuous popliteal sciatic nerve block for ...

Body representation disorders continue to be mysterious and involve the anatomical substrate that underlies the mental representation of the body. These disorders sit on the boundaries of neurological and psychiatric diseases. We present the main characteristics of 3 examples of body representation disorders: phantom sensations, supernumerary phantom ...

Clinical perception of phantom limb sensation in patients with brachial plexus block
European Journal of Anaesthesiology, 2002Patients' perception of limb position during regional anaesthesia is frequently incorrect. The incidence and nature of this phenomenon has not yet been completely described. The aim of this prospective study was to assess phantom sensation in patients undergoing a brachial plexus block.Axillary block was performed in 81 patients with the aid of a ...

The Cerebellum, 2019
Phantom limb pain (PLP) is a disabling and intractable sensation arising in about 80% of patients after amputation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the possibility to modulate nociceptive processing and pain perception with cerebellar transcranial direct current stimulation (ctDCS) in patients suffering from painful and non-painful phantom limb ...

Annals of Neurology, 2000
Pain and other phantom limb (PL) sensations have been proposed to be generated in the brain and to be reflected in activation of specific neural circuits. To test this hypothesis, hypnosis was used as a cognitive tool to alternate between the sensation of PL movement and pain in 8 amputees. Brain activity was measured using positron emission tomography.

Beyond body experiences: Phantom limbs, pain and the locus of sensation
Cortex, 2009Reports of perceptual experiences are found throughout history. However, the phenomena considered worthy of note have not been those that nurture our survival (the veridical features of perception) but the oddities or departures from the common and commonplace accuracies of perception.
