Effect of Stump Pain on Phantom Limb Perception
Following an amputation, severe pain in the stump can initially overshadow the perception of a phantom limb. Consequently, during the healing process, there may be a delay of several weeks before the phantom limb is perceived. One theory suggests that this delay occurs because the patient's attention is diverted from the phantom limb by the severe pain in the stump.
