Caring for patients with phantom limb sensation.
Phantom limb pain is increasingly perceived as a complex condition that is likely to have multifactorial causes. Although acknowledgement of the existence of the condition is more prevalent than it was, its treatment remains elusive. Nurses caring for people with phantom limb pain have a unique role to play in the overall holistic therapy of the amputee.
