Phantom limb syndrome

Phantom Limbs, Neglect Syndromes, Repressed Memories, and Freudian Psychology... 

These include postherpetic neuralgia, phantom limb pain, peripheral neuropathies of various causes, central pain, e.g. following a stroke, compression neuropathies, and the complex regional pain syndromes (comprising causalgia, when there is nerve damage, and reflex sympathetic dystrophy, when there is tissue but no nerve injury) they present the most challenging problems. 

A comprehensive set of practice parameters on the use of spinal cord stimulation in the treatment of chronic neuropathic pain has been developed [42]. Indications include failed back surgery syndrome, complex regional pain syndrome, peripheral neuropathic pain, phantom limb/post-amputation syndrome, recalcitrant PHN, root injury pain, and spinal cord injury or lesions. It also is being used in the management of pain associated with multiple sclerosis, pain due to ischemic peripheral vascular disease, and interstitial nephritis.
