menthol and Phantom Limb

menthol has been researched along with Phantom Limb in 1 studies

Menthol: A monoterpene cyclohexanol produced from mint oils.

Phantom Limb: Perception of painful and nonpainful phantom sensations that occur following the complete or partial loss of a limb. The majority of individuals with an amputated extremity will experience the impression that the limb is still present, and in many cases, painful. (From Neurol Clin 1998 Nov;16(4):919-36; Brain 1998 Sep;121(Pt 9):1603-30)

"Menthol has previously been suggested as a model for hypersensitivity, but it has not yet been investigated if different levels of neuropathic pain may influence the effects of menthol or if topical application of menthol may act as a model for hypersensitivity in patients with phantom limb pain."5.39The effects of menthol on cold allodynia and wind-up-like pain in upper limb amputees with different levels of phantom limb pain.
