Reviews

‘Excellent reference book on central pain … chapter on neuromodulation one of the highlights of the book … thoughtful … well researched and a pleasure to read.'

Christine Sang Source: Journal of Pain and Symptom Management

‘… chapter on neuromodulation should be particularly interesting to algiotrists … should make a nice addition to the library of clinicians who care for patients with central pain conditions or simply those with an interest in this subject. It is the most comprehensive review of this subject that I have seen to date. For me, some of the most practically useful information is provided by the extensive tables on drug treatment and neuromodulation. The book clearly accomplishes its goal, and the price … seems quite reasonable considering the amount of information considered.'

Richard Osenback Source: Journal of Neurosurgery

‘… everyone, without exception, should purchase and read Sergio Canavero's new book from [Cambridge University Press], Central Pain Syndrome. It can be had for less than the co-pay on a visit to a neurosurgeon … perhaps the most exhaustive study that has ever been produced on any one condition or disease … If you have trouble finding a doctor who understands central pain … buy a second copy to hand to your doctor, who probably needs it … a Maestro. He has produced a personal, original, intellectual, and comprehensive work which shows plainly that an Italian is a match for anyone, anywhere in the world, when it comes to pain. We expect them to excel everyone in opera and tenors, but here we see Italian genius of the first order presenting an impossible topic … we really love this book … special thanks …'
