Psychiatrist Questions Phantom Limb

Phantom limb pain?

In an accident at my job, I lost one of my fingers. However, I still feel things in that area even when there's nothing there, especially pain. I have to remind myself that my finger is no longer there sometimes because it feels so real, and when I look at it to check the pain goes away. When researching this, I found out this is called phantom limb. What is usually done for this?

There are some treatments that use mirrors.
