Clinical Pain Management is a major new clinical reference work. Comprised of four volumes - Acute Pain, Chronic Pain, Cancer Pain and Practical Applications and Procedures - it is a comprehensive textbook for trainee and practising specialists in pain management and related areas, presenting these individuals with all they need to know to provide a successful pain management service. The set includes three clinical volumes that deal respectively with all aspects of acute, chronic and cancer pain - from the basic mechanisms underlying the development of pain, to the various treatments that can be applied in different clinical situations. A fourth volume, Practical Applications and Procedures, complements these three by providing helpful advice on practical aspects of clinical management and research, including protocols and established clinical guidelines: in effect, a 'ready-reference manual' for the busy clinician.

Geared to clinicians in all disciplines, this manual is a practical, authoritative guide to the assessment and management of pain in adults and in pediatric patients. Chapters written by leading experts explain the most useful diagnostic tests, describe the entire spectrum of pain syndromes, and discuss all currently available drugs and other treatment options. This updated second edition includes new chapters on EMG, functional MRI, interstitial cystitis and urologic pain, central pain syndromes, antidepressants, new injection therapies, implantable devices, drug addiction, and legal issues. It is a Brandon-Hill recommended title.
