This book focuses on basic aspects, clinical aspects, and novel approaches to drug discovery. It deals with major advances in understanding the basic pathophysiology of pain and how it can be manipulated at the anatomical, physiological immunological, pharmaceutical, and psychological levels.

This reference presents a detailed overview of approaches and techniques in the management of pain caused by tissue, nerve and central nervous system injuries, categorizing pain into a variety of syndromes and underlying mechanisms to aid the development of interventional pharmacologic measures.
