Amputation of the limb leads to psychological, physical and social discomfort. Phantom limb pain (PLP) is one of the most pressing problems of this condition. The study of PLP has a long history. Every year, research in this area reaches an increasingly high level. Despite this, there is no single concept of the origin of PLP in the world.
