Handbook of Pain Management, Second Edition, retains the practical focus of the original, and incorporates many new clinical advances in pain diagnosis and treatment. You'll find an emphasis on the wide spectrum of pain, in place of the first edition's focus on chronic pain; five new chapters covering various medications in clinical practice; a new chapter on drug detoxification protocols; an expanded section on pain clinics; and a new section on medical-legal issues.
To give you the quickest possible access to information, the text is organized on the basis of anatomical location. The coverage includes a systematic classification for pain, effective therapeutic approaches, and actual strategies for controlling pain in a wide range of disorders.
