Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Phantom pain is a complex phenomenon that occurs following the loss of a body part, often a limb. It is believed to be associated with changes in the brain, particularly cortical reorganization, where the brain's sensory map of the body part adjusts to the loss, sometimes leading to the experience of pain in the absent body part. This is not considered attention-seeking behavior or solely a method to obtain medication, and it is not due to increased myelination in cells going to the removed body part.
