Abstract

Phantom limb pain is defined as pain localised in a body part that is no longer there (Mishra et al. [1]; Flor et al. [2]; Mayo Clinic Staff [3]). It is believed that amputation of an extremity is required for phantom pain and sensations to occur (Nikolajsen and Jensen [5]). However, we report a case in which a severed nerve to an “intact extremity” resulted in phantom limb-like pains and sensations which responded to a treatment regimen identical to that for phantom limb pain. It is important for clinicians to entertain the idea of phantom limb-like pain in cases when a nerve is severed to any extremity and as such, provide pain relief to this subgroup of patients.

幻肢就像完整下肢的疼痛和感觉
幻肢痛被定义为身体某个部位不再存在的疼痛(Mishra et al. bbb;Flor等人;梅奥诊所工作人员bbb)。人们认为,幻肢疼痛和感觉的发生需要截肢(Nikolajsen和Jensen bbb)。然而,我们报告了一例“完整肢体”的神经切断导致幻肢样疼痛和感觉,治疗方案与幻肢痛相同。对于临床医生来说,重要的是在神经被切断到任何肢体的情况下,接受幻肢样疼痛的想法,因此,为这一亚组患者提供疼痛缓解。
