This book provides an authoritative exposition of the management protocols of common benign and malignant pain states. It focuses on clinical practice protocols rather than experimental data study. The presentation is illustrated with suitable diagrams, photographs, tables and flowcharts.
The book is organized into five sections: General Principles of Pain Management This section highlights the examination and evaluation of a patient in the clinic as well as the pharmacology of drugs used in pain management.
Chronic Pain Syndromes The section describes the pathophysiology and possible treatment modalities of chronic pain syndromes.
Cancer Pain This section features most types of cancer pain conditions and discusses terminal cancer in considerable detail.
Advanced Interventional Pain Management The section presents an in-depth exposition of advanced techniques like spinal cord stimulation, radio-frequency ablation and intrathecal drug delivery systems. The advantages and disadvantages of each technique have been highlighted.
Management of Spasticity This section is unique to this book and it discusses the non-surgical management of spastic patients.
Appendices at the end of the book feature definition of commonly used terms, equipment and important pain websites.
This handbook would serve as an extremely valuable tool for all trainees and practitioners involved in pain management including anesthesiologists, surgeons, orthopedic surgeons, neurologists, physicians and rehabilitation experts.
