title: Phantom limb pain: a case for beta blockers?
abstract: Many treatments have been recommended in the management of phantom limb pain. These have not met with widespread enthusiasm. A new therapeutic endeavour utilizes the group of beta sympathetic blocking drugs. Three case histories of patients with phantom limb pain treated with both beta 1-specific and non-specific beta blocking drugs are reported.
