This reference work presents a review of the mechanisms by which pain is caused, the diseases which give rise to pain, and the drugs and other methods used to relieve and prevent pain. It includes cancer pain, rheumatic pain and post-operative pain, and discusses the role of pain clinics.
'Clinicians' Guide to Pain' is a practical ready reference which covers all aspects of pain and pain management. It reviews the mechanisms by which pain is caused, the diseases which give rise to pain and the drugs and other methods which are used to relieve and prevent pain.
Looking first at pain caused by cancer, the authors consider the underlying pathophysiology, including neural transmission and pain perception, before reviewing the particular problems of various cancers such as bone, bowel and bladder. The emphasis throughout is on evidence based medicine, with peer review papers cited to support the advice given.
The book will be an invaluable aid for the non-specialist family or general physician dealing with cancer and rheumatic pain, and will also be of interest to doctors in training and allied health professionals caring for these patients.
