Art, Art, Art. Phantom pain absolutely DOES exist.

I think you might not understand what pain is and what causes it. Case in point: after a collision in the outfield chasing a fly ball, I had a feeling in my rib cage like someone was stabbing an ice pick into my chest. My GP told me I had a bruised rib but ice packs to my rib cage and tylenol didn't help much. I had to go to a chiropractor to learn that the problem was actually a bulging disk in my neck, pressing on a nerve.

Amputee phantom pain is similar. A nerve somewhere in the leg (or maybe even in the spine) is telling the patient that there's a pain in a limb where there is no longer a limb. It's still pain. It DOES exist.

Regarding Ilfeld's work: he will now probably get funding for, and conduct, a larger scale clinical study for PEMF treatment of phantom pain. It will probably take years, judging from how long his other studies take. The indication of phantom limb pain isn't going to make anyone rich but I don't think anyone is claiming that. Illfeld's interest in PEMF is certainly a positive development for this company.
