Twenty-five subjects, who had undergone amputation within last 6 weeks, were studied for psychiatric complications, including phantom limb phenomena. The patients were interviewed on SCID, HRSD and HARS. Out of a total of 25 subjects, 8 (34.6%) developed psychiatric disorders - PTSD and major depression. The whole sample was thus divided into 2 groups-sick and nonsick. Phantom limb was seen in 88% subjects. No significant difference was present between the two groups with regard to presence of phantom, its associated phenomena of pain, telescopy and movement. A statistically significant difference was seen in psychiatric sickness in relation to upper and lower limb.
对 25 名在过去 6 周内接受截肢手术的患者进行了研究，以了解其精神并发症，包括幻肢现象。对这些患者采用 SCID、HRSD 和 HARS 进行了访谈。在总共 25 名患者中，有 8 名（34.6%）出现了精神障碍——创伤后应激障碍和重度抑郁症。因此，整个样本被分为两组——患病组和非患病组。88%的患者出现了幻肢。在幻肢的存在及其相关的疼痛、远距视觉和运动现象方面，两组之间没有显著差异。但在与上肢和下肢有关的精神疾病方面，两组之间存在统计学上的显著差异。
