Abstract

For centuries it has been observed that people who have lost limbs and other body parts continue to feel pain appearing to emanate from those missing body parts! This is called ‘phantom pain’. Others don’t feel pain but feel other sensations from those absent parts. Such sensations include tingling, cramping, heat, and cold. This related phenomenon is called ‘phantom limb’.
