Description
This comprehensive resource is a multidisciplinary working manual aimed at health practitioners who deal with the diagnosis and treatment of pain. This edition emphasizes the wide spectrum of pain, rather than just chronic pain and includes new chapters on pharmacological interventions, including drug detoxification protocols; medical-legal issues; and expanded information on pain clinics. The text also reviews the classification of pain; its theoretical pathways and mechanisms; and its social, cultural and psychological aspects, as well as considering myofascial pain syndrome and modalities of treatment (invasive and non-invasive).
