It may be the first time that many people have heard of the disease " phantom limb pain ". Regarding "phantom limb pain", it is simple and simple to say, that the patient always feels that the amputated limb still exists, and this hypothetical limb will bring pain to himself, so he is named "phantom limb pain".
So, why does the so-called "phantom limb pain" occur? Up to now, the cause of "phantom limb pain" is not clear. Studies have shown that these patients may have functional reorganization of the cerebral cortex, which means that once patients suffer from trauma, they are prone to "phantom limb pain".
What are the typical clinical manifestations of "phantom limb pain"? These three performances are outstanding, I hope everyone can understand them.
1. "Phantom limb sensation"
"Phantom limb sensation" refers to the patient's limbs being treated with amputation after the patient's limb is severely damaged. The patient cannot accept this change in the body, which creates a hallucination, believing that his limbs still exist. This is a psychological effect, and it is a kind of self-comfort that the patient is unwilling to accept reality from the bottom of his heart. These patients will think that their limbs can still feel the changes in temperature and various external stimuli, but in fact, this feeling is imagined by the patient and does not really exist. The existence of "illusion limb sensation" in
will also bring psychological pain to patients. Many patients cannot accept reality for a long time, and it will not be until later through a series of psychological care that they gradually get out of the psychological haze area.
2. "Sensation of Remaining Limbs"
The performance of "Sensation of Phantom Limbs" may be different. This type of patient can feel that his limbs have been amputated, and he can psychologically recognize that he has no limbs and only residual limbs exist.
However, it is precisely because of this that the patient will feel that his body is no longer intact, so once he receives some stimulation, the pain will be infinitely amplified, resulting in residual limb pain.
In addition, if the stump is stimulated, even if it is a small stimulation, the patient is afraid of pain in his heart, so in this case, the patient's pain will double. This is the typical "stump pain" caused by the "stump pain".
3. "Phantom limb pain"
Although the patient can subjectively feel that his limbs have stopped after surgery, he still feels that the pain has not been eliminated from the bottom of his heart. Therefore, the patient always feels that his limbs still exist, and it will also bring some very unbearable pain to himself, such as drilling pain, burning pain, stinging pain and other pains. These pains are closely related to the patient's psychological changes to a certain extent.
Many patients still feel "phantom limb pain" even after many years of surgery. At this time, they need to provide correct psychological counseling to eliminate the patient's "phantom limb pain".
