Phantom Pain


Overview

This unique volume explores the mystery of phantom pain, providing a thoroughly unified approach to understanding this phenomenon from basic neuroscience to clinical practice. The author and contributors integrate the most current information on central and peripheral mechanisms of pain with data on characteristics, demography, and evaluations of treatment efforts to produce a coherent view of the problem. Special features include numerous illustrations of phantom sensations from the amputee's point of view and a guide for amputees which offers understandable information about the entire process from pre-surgical procedures to rehabilitation.
