Phantom limb pain (PLP) is a sensation caused by missing an organ in the body, which can be due to amputation. The prevalence of PLP due to amputation is about 82% for upper limbs and 54% for lower limbs. Case Presentation: This research describes the case of a 71-year-old female patient who developed PLP after having three middle fingers on her left hand amputated due to dipping in a meat grinder. She underwent bioresonance therapy for PLP treatment for 19 months and achieved positive results. Conclusions: Regarding the role of PLP in the patients undergoing amputation, bioresonance therapy might be beneficial in managing this condition.
