referred sensation

A group of vaguely classified sensations that are a consequence of cortical experience. They are the sensory hallucinations, paresthesias, and the phenomenon called phantom limb. Nonspecific and poorly localized pain in the alveolar ridges, which have poor vascular supply, may be evidence of this phantom limb phenomenon associated with neurotic behavior.
