Fantasies concerning an amputated limb can contribute to the occurrence of persistent phantom limb pain. We report a case in which burning pain perceived as located in the amputated lower extremities was related to the patient's feelings about incineration of the removed limbs against her wishes. Hypnotherapy involving elucidation of the fantasy and suggestion was successfully employed in this case and may be a helpful approach in other such cases. Importantly, adequate preparation of the patient for amputation, including an awareness of concerns about the disposition of the limb, may help prevent pathological limb sensations.
关于截肢肢体的幻想可能会导致持续性幻肢痛的发生。我们报告了一例病例，患者感觉截肢的下肢有灼痛，这与她对违背自己意愿焚烧切除肢体的感受有关。在该病例中，成功采用了包括阐明幻想和给予暗示的催眠疗法，这可能对其他此类病例有帮助。重要的是，对患者进行充分的截肢准备，包括让其了解对肢体处置的担忧，可能有助于预防病理性肢体感觉。
