Cover Story: Amputation induces anatomical and physiological changes of the sensory neural pathways, both peripherally and centrally, which can lead to phantom limb pain. Referred sensation areas likely originating from the sprouting of severed peripheral nerves may develop and might provide a non-invasive access point to sensory neural pathways that project to the lost limb. We report non-painful and painful phantom sensations modulated by mechanical and electrical stimulation of the referred sensation areas in two upper-limb amputees. We conclude that the specificity of the referred sensation areas, dynamics in perception of the sensory input, and the associated alleviation of PLP could be effectively exploited in individualized therapy for phantom limb pain and by designs of future active prostheses.
