  • Title: Conservative management of phantom-limb and amputation-stump pain.
    Author: Berger SM.
    Journal: Ann R Coll Surg Engl; 1980 Mar; 62(2):102-5. PubMed ID: 6966480.
    Abstract:
    The causes of pain in the amputation stump or in the so-called phantom limb are far from clear and a wide variety of methods of treatment have been used with varying degrees of success. Surgical techniques do not always give lasting relief and it is suggested that conservative methods such as vibration therapy and various forms of electrical stimulation may prove more helpful.
