Abstract
Complete recovery of phantom limb pain of five years' duration occurred in a 71-year-old man following treatment with fluoxetine. There was no coexisting affective disorder. Further research is indicated in view of the postulated role of lowered central 5-hydroxytryptamine activity in the genesis and maintenance of chronic pain.
