Abstract

Phantom limb sensation and/or pain are a common complaint after amputations. In recent years there has been accumulating data implicating mirror visual feedback or mirror therapy as helpful in the treatment of phantom pain. On the other hand, there is no published data on utilizing auditory feedback for treatment of phantom pain. We introduce a new medical hypothesis that auditory feedback may be of added benefit it the treatment of phantom limb pain when used in addition to mirror visual feedback and serve as a valuable part to the complex multisensory processing of body perception in amputee patients.
