Phantom Limb Pain: Neurobiology, Treatment, And Hope
Received Date: Oct 01, 2025 / Published Date: Oct 29, 2025
Abstract
Phantom limb pain (PLP) is a complex neuropathic pain condition following amputation, linked to central nervous system reorganization. Treatment is multimodal, involving pharmacological agents, physical therapy, and neuromodulation techniques. Research highlights the role of cortical plasticity and stump pain, while therapies like mirror therapy, spinal cord stimulation, and virtual reality show therapeutic potential. Psychological factors are significant, with cognitive-behavioral therapy offering support. Future strategies emphasize personalized approaches and ongoing research.
