| Abstract: | This book provides a multidisciplinary review of nociception, pain syndromes, and analgesic therapies. It contains contributions from professionals in the fields of physical medicine, rheumatology, anaesthesia, neurology, psychiatry, and internal medicine; it is recommended for individuals in these and related areas. Assessment and basic mechanisms of pain are reviewed, followed by discussions on headache and facial pain, neuropathic pain, low back pain, fibromyalgia and myofascial pain syndrome, chronic arthritis, and pain syndromes associated with cancer. Therapies addressed in the book include nonopioid and adjuvant analgesics, opioid analgesics, anaesthetic techniques, surgical approaches, and psychiatric approaches to pain management. A chapter on the psychologic issues of pain presents various conceptual models of pain and strategies for management. Each chapter is individually referenced. |
