phanÂ·tom limb pain. the painful sensations experienced in an amputated (phantom) limb, most often the upper extremity; typically comprises burning or aching pain, exacerbated by attempted movement of the phantom limb and by emotional stimuli. Synonym(s): phantom limb, pseudesthesia (3) , pseudoesthesia (3) , stump hallucination.
Many people experience phantom pain at some time. The phantom aspect is not the pain, which is real, but the location of the painâa limb that has been amputated. Phantom pain is more likely if the pain before amputation was severe, lasted a long time, or if the amputation occurred as the result of trauma.
