Concordance of Phantom and Residual Limb Pain Phenotypes in Double Amputees: Evidence for the Contribution of Distinct and Common Individual Factors

The observation of high intraindividual concordance for PLP and RLP in 122 double amputees suggests that individual factors contribute to post-amputation pain. The relatively low intraindividual association between PLP and RLP suggests that these factors are at least partially specific for each pain type.
