Overview:

Phantom limb pain is a type of chronic pain that can occur after amputation. It is characterized by pain or discomfort felt in the area of the removed limb. Phantom limb pain is caused by abnormal activity of the nervous system after an amputation. This may be due to the brain still trying to process the signals it used to receive from the missing limb, resulting in phantom sensations and pain. The pain can be described as burning, tingling, aching, or cramping and is localized to the amputated limb. The sensation can be mild to severe and vary in intensity and duration.
