Phantom limb pain is a type of chronic pain existing in different organs, not just limbs. The incidence is very high in the postamputation period and treatment can be a challenge. The pharmaceutical treatment strategies in addition to psychological rehabilitative strategies and interventional management play a successful role in the management of these patients. For this article, we conducted a review of literature about pain management for phantom limb pain to identify the treatment modalities, which involved interventional pain management, and an algorithmic approach is proposed.
