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.
A slightly different sensation known as phantom pain can also occur in people who are born without limbs, and people who are paralyzed. Phantom pains occur when nerves that would normally innervate the missing limb cause pain. It is often described as a burning or similarly strange sensation for people who are missing limbs.
