"Wall and Melzack’s Textbook of Pain is a definitive reference textbook, even with the editorial changing of the guard. Since its first publication 22 years ago, this text, like pain management, has continued to evolve, a clear example of evolution by intelligent design. The fifth edition, especially with the E-dition online package, represents a definite upgrade. For this achievement, the new editors should be congratulated. Dr Melzack should be, and Dr Wall would be, proud." - JAMA, review of the 5th edition
"The Editors of this 5th edition are to be congratulated for their enormous efforts... The book has improved on previous editions and remains the most comprehensive scientific reference text in the field of pain medicine." - Anesthesia & Analgesia, review of the 5th edition
