The word for an illusion after amputation
Can you please tell me what is the word for an annoying illusion that amputees feel about their removed body part? I mean they feel that the removed part still exists. Can you please tell me the word for it?
Thank you.
Thank you.

The expressions phantom sensation and phantom limb sensation are certainly all right.
Phantom perception seems to exist, too, but from my search it appears that, at least on the Internet, it’s often used in connection with tinnitus and auditory perception, and if you want to exclude those results, what remains is just a few hits.
So, what's yet to be seen no
