There are several synonyms for the syndrome, including phantom pain, residual limb pain, and post-amputation pain. Other terms include supernumerary phantom limbs, referred phantom pain, and cortical reorganization. Although the exact cause of phantom limb syndrome is still unknown, researchers believe that it is related to changes in the brain's perception of the missing limb.
