A friend of mine in the Army lost half of his middle finger, and went through the phantom pain of feeling the tip of his missing finger "itching". Doctors told him to ignore it, but he found relief in "scratching" the spot where his finger used to be, and the sensation would go away. Probably psychosomatic via muscle memory of the rest of the body trying to address the stimulus, but he didn't care, it fixed the problem.
