A group of amputees complaining of longstanding phantom pain was compared with another comparable group of non-complainers. It was found that those with phantom pain made significantly more complaints of other painful conditions, both related and unrelated to the amputation; they were also more depressed. It is suggested that this association is due to a lowered pain tolerance in the group with phantom pain complaints, and that depression is one factor contributing to this lowered tolerance.
一组长期遭受幻肢痛折磨的截肢者与另一组情况相当的无幻肢痛抱怨者进行了对比。结果发现，有幻肢痛的人对其他疼痛状况（无论与截肢相关与否）的抱怨要多得多；他们也更抑郁。有人认为，这种关联是由于有幻肢痛抱怨的人群疼痛耐受性降低所致，而抑郁是导致这种耐受性降低的一个因素。
