Phantom limb sensations occur after limb loss, but pain can also affect other body parts after deafferentation. Research explores the unclear causes of these phenomena and current treatment strategies for phantom limb pain.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Medical Science

Context:

  • Phantom limb phenomenon is common after amputation.
  • Less recognized are similar sensations and pain following loss of other body parts or deafferentation.
  • Pathophysiology remains incompletely understood.

Purpose:

  • To review current literature and original studies on phantom limb phenomena.
  • To explore the multifaceted aspects of autosomatognosis and phantom limb pain.
  • To discuss hypotheses on pathophysiology and treatment strategies.

Summary:

  • The study examines phantom limb sensations, autosomatognosis, and pain following various forms of body part loss or deafferentation.
  • It reviews existing hypotheses regarding the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms.
  • Current treatment approaches for phantom limb pain are also surveyed.
