Abstract
Phantom limb pain (PLP) is a general complaint after amputation which is usually described as burning, tingling, shooting, and cramping. Spontaneous recovery of phantom limb pain generally last many months or years. The pain gets chronic in most cases and impresses the life quality of the patient.
