  15. I recently heard or read that phantom limb pain (or the probability of
  16. it occurring) in new amputees may be significantly reduced if the
  17. limb is locally anesthetized BEFORE the general anesthesia and amputation.
  18.  
  19. Is this true?
  20.  
  21. If so, can anyone provide references?
  22.  
  23. Thanks,
