A sensation of pain or discomfort felt in a limb that has been amputated, often described as tingling, cramping, or burning.
Book appointmentPhantom Limb Pain is a phenomenon where individuals who have had a limb amputated experience sensations, often painful, that seem to originate from the missing limb. This condition can manifest immediately post-surgery or several months later, and the pain can range from mild to severe. Patients commonly describe the sensations as burning, throbbing, stabbing, or aching. The exact cause of phantom limb pain is not entirely understood, but it is believed to involve a combination of neurological, psychological, and prosthetic factors. The brain continues to send signals to the nerves that initially supplied the now-missing limb, leading to these ghostly sensations. Treatment options include medications such as pain relievers and antidepressants, non-drug therapies like mirror therapy, acupuncture, and physical therapy, and in some cases, surgical interventions. Effective management often requires a multi-disciplinary approach involving healthcare providers from different specialties.
