Abstract in brief

Phantom limb sensations are common after amputation and can be helpful for controlling prostheses, but phantom limb pain (PLP) is a severe condition that worsens quality of life.
The cause of PLP is still unclear, with ongoing debates about whether the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) or peripheral nervous system (nerves outside the brain/spinal cord) plays a larger role; current theories mainly focus on changes in neuronal networks.
The review discusses different theories behind PLP and examines various treatment options, highlighting the importance of considering the role of the dorsal root ganglion in the peripheral nervous system.]
