Phantom Limb: Perception of painful and nonpainful phantom sensations that occur following the complete or partial loss of a limb.

"That restless legs can occur simultaneously in a phantom as well as a real limb and that the perception of movement in a phantom limb as well as dopaminergic treatment improved the symptoms provides further support for the important role of central nervous system dysfunction in the development of this disorder."1.35Bilateral restless legs affecting a phantom limb, treated with dopamine agonists.
